That depend on the amount of sunlight the amount of use the pool is getting and the amount of bio- material suspended in the pool. The best thing to do is to test the pool and follow the instructions on the test kit or take a sample of water to your pool shop and ask them for advice.
You need to achieve and maintain chlorine readings, from a test kit, of between 1.5 and 3.0; pH readings of between 7.4 & 7.8; total alkalinity readings of between 80 & 120 for best water quality chemically. Filtration is another factor in water quality. Add chlorine - liquid or granular - until you achieve those readings. It may take a few times of adding chemicals in order to know what your pool requires. There is no set amount for each and every pool. All pools react differently according to demand or use of the pool. Purchase a "Swimming Pools" book at your local big box hardware store for instructions for pool maintenance. And do it soon as pools are not forgiving if neglected. k
my pool is concret it 13800 gallons how many gallons of clorine should go in if no clorine is in it
If it's a properly maintained pool, it will have between 2-4ppm.
A lot of chlorine.
24 oz
My pool water is low on chlorine how much chlorine do I need?
Use one gallon of chlorine for every 10,000 gallons of water.
about 3 oz.
Use one gallon of chlorine for every 10,000 gallons of water.
Gas is more of an everyday purchase now than it was in 1930. In 1930, a gallon of gas cost ten cents.
Depends on how much is already in the pool and the concentration of the liquid chlorine. IF you are just staring out, try using a half a gallon and measure with an OTO tester after a couple of hours. You are shooting for a minimum level of 1 PPM chlorine and 7.2 pH. Hatawa
ppm = lbs Chlorine / lbs of water given: 1 ppm = 1 x 10e-6 1 gallon of water = 8.33 lbs 1 lb = 454 grams Therefore; 4x10e-6 = lbs Chlorine/(3000 x 8.33) lbs Chlorine = 4x10e-6 x 3000 x 8.33 lbs Chlorine = 0.09996 or 0.09996 lb x 454grams/lb = 45.38 grams 4ppm of Chlorine in a 3000 gallon pool is: 0.09996 lbs which is about 45.38 grams
how much chlorine do I put for a 1,718 gallon pool
NONE! ZERO! NADA! Never put chlorine in your fish tank. You want to remove chlorine from your tap water before using it in your tank.
You'll need about 240 pounds to start, to get chlorine level to correct amount
To shock the pool, about a gallon. To just chlorinate, a quarter gallon, then measure the chlorine level with an OTO test kit. Keep the chlorine level between 1-3 PPM, and the pH at 7.2. You can adjust pH with plain old baking soda if the pH is too low, or add a little muriatic acid if the pH is too high.
How do you know that it is too high? If you are using a home test kit it will show the total chlorine, which includes free chlorine and combined chlorine. Only free chlorine can sanitize the pool. Combined chlorine is broken apart by "shocking" the pool with 1L liquid chlorine per 10000L of water in the pool. (For most pools 10L is fine if you're unsure of the pool volume.) Chlorine will disipate on its own anyways. Sidenote: Are you using a lot of chlorine pucks? They contain stabilizer, which is used to keep the chlorine from burning off in the sun too quickly. If it is overused the chlorine will burn off too slowly. Are you getting readings above 10.0 ppm of chlorine? What is too high? Do you smell the chlorine? Then there's not enough chlorine. Simple as that. K
Chlorine has 17 protons.
