Jonathan Schoonbroodt says: Hello Henry, the price of our tablets can be explained by the very high concentration of active products.

Jonathan Schoonbroodt says: Hello Mary, a high chlorine concentration is a good thing when you need to keep a water safe and clean as you just put less product for a same result, the issue with bleach is a low concentration BUT a big and bad impact on the pH of your water!

You will need to use a bit of stabilizer along with your liquid chlorine bleach. This will make it easier for the chlorine to stay active in the water, keeping it clean and safe.
Unlike erosion tablets, you have control of the amount of stabilizer you put in the water, meaning you are less likely to end up with really high levels of stabilizer that make it difficult to keep your chemical levels in balance. Most experts recommend adding chlorine to your water daily after sunset if you do not have an automatic feeder system. There are tons of calculators available online that will let you put in the exact measurements of your pool to determine the amount of chlorine that you will need to add.
Yes, pool supply stores are out to make money: that is what they are there for. This means that some of the products they sell are unnecessary and maybe even counterproductive. It takes some time and knows how to know what you need and what is a waste of money. However, it must be said that the bleach you can buy at the local grocery store is not the same thing as what you get from a pool supply store. Household bleach is a much weaker form of bleach and may have other additives that are not safe for pool systems.
It also simply takes a lot more household bleach to sanitize a pool than it does pool-grade chlorine. Any savings you might glean is likely to be offset by how much extra household bleach it takes to keep things sanitized. Yes, it is cheaper, but that is due to the reduced strength of the chemicals. Using household chlorine might seem cheaper, but chances are it will lead to constant chemical management or an inability to keep your levels in balance.
Household chlorine may work in a pinch but it should not be used as the primary means of keeping your pool safe. Liquid pool-grade chlorine bleach is the best way to keep your pool safe and sanitized.
They will always require care and adjustment with changes in condition such as long periods of intense sunlight or long periods of rain.
Regular water tests, pool cleaning, maintenance, and the like are imperative. It is a fairly dangerous chemical which requires eye, skin, and breathing protection. Its fumes are very powerful and if you get the liquid on your clothes, it will destroy them. That being said, muriatic acid works great for lowering the ph level of your pool water when handled properly. It can be found in most hardware stores, either in the paint, outdoor, or pool department depending on which store you go to.
To use muriatic acid, wear eye protection and a respirator mask. Keep the pool pump running for at least 30 minutes after pouring. It is best to use less than you think you need, test the water, and repeat as needed. The amount used will depend on the number of gallons of water in your pool and how far the ph needs to be lowered.
If you need to lower your Total Alkalinity and your ph, you can do both with muriatic acid. To do this, first turn off the pool pump and wait until the water is still. Once the water is still, slowly pour the proper amount of muriatic acid in the deep end and let it sink down to the bottom of the pool. Wait about 30 minutes before turning the pump back on. This will decrease both your TA and ph.
If the ph has gone down too far, you can aerate the pool water to increase the ph without bringing the TA back up. These acids can be used to release iron stains from pool surfaces, along with metal sequestrants. You can spot test by placing a vitamin C tablet over a stain and checking after a few minutes to see if the stain has released in that spot. If so, your stain is from iron in the water. Check here for specific instructions and to find out how this will affect your pool chemistry.
It is especially important to raise the chlorine level very slowly after doing a citric acid treatment. Bonus tip: If you have a lot of iron in your water, these will also work well at cleaning your sinks and bathtubs! Using Clorox, or other bleaches, in your pool is not only something you can do, but it can actually help keep your pool balance in check. Just make sure that you are using the right formula and dosages. Are Dryer Sheets Necessary? Are Dryer Sheets Compostable?
And What About the Lint? I accept the Privacy Policy. Muriatic acid hydrochloric acid is actually the best chemical to use to lower both PH and alkalinity at the same time.
It is safe to use as long as you pour it into a bucket that contains water, then pour that mixture into your pool. Also, you should always wear eye protection and chemically resistant gloves and long sleeves Yes, it is dangerous if you are careless That was very informative to know about these pool sanitizers. I usually prefer using chlorine tablets as it is easy to use and affordable.
But I will never recommend using Muriatic acid for pool. It is very dangerous for people and pets.
