Interesting. How often are you pouring?Pour slowly in front of return. Quart measuring cup. 2 qts= 4parts FC. I get 2.5 Gal or 5 Gal. I have spouts and lids from Anyone purchased refillable chlorine? Container choice?
I did find a spout on amazon with a tube for letting air in that I have not used yet. If you go thru the other site might as well get 4 of each since shipping doesn't change. I cracked a lid and I am glad I bought 4. Budds does have nice wrenches for the lids.
During swim season you should be adding liquid chlorine daily. Use tablets/pucks when you are going to be away from the pool for more than a couple days. Test CYA when you return to adjust your target FC.Interesting. How often are you pouring?
Definitely. Really appreciate the info and help from everyone. In the morning I will test and see where I am.You can use the cal hypo. But I would suggest switching to liquid chlorine as soon as you can get some. Cal hypo will add calcium to your pool water. Not a big deal right now but eventually it can be an issue. It also can sit on the liner of your pool and bleach out the color. Be sure you mix it in well.
Got it. Water is clear already so I'll just maintain/vac and go from there. Thanks again!Test FC only and add liquid chlorine as often as possible. 3 to 4 times per day is best, if possible.
Read SLAM Process
Got it.With that much water exchange this should go quick. Maintain SLAM level for a couple days and then see what things look like.
Yep I didn't do liquid chlorine. I did cal-hypo shock at 68%. IDK what was in that water/filter before but its out now.If you add liquid chlorine BE SURE to NOT add anything with any additives in it! Chlorox usually has extra goodies in it that are fine for your laundry but bad for your pool!
Generally, store-brand cheapo bleach is fine or home store/pool store liquid chlorine.
