Hello Jonah, sorry but I am new to all this. I just moved to AZ state and s about 110 right now. I bought an inflatable pool (2640gl) can you give an advice on how much I need to use to keep it clean and clear? So far I used a bit more than half of bag of Shock and I put one pot on the floating pot. I am being doing that for every week but water looks a bit duty.

I use a full bag with my pool 16ft X32 ft, Half a bag should be ok for your size. The most important is to keep the pump running to clear up the pool.

Hello Jonah , I’m new at this pool stuff but if my chlorine is high is it ok to shock it. I notice some algae in the skimmer sock and a little on the liner and stairs but my water is crystal clear.

If you are seeing new algae growth despite an adequate (or high) chlorine level you may be “chlorine locked” with most of the chlorine combined and unavailable. Shocking is the fix for that. You may also have high phosphates. Test and treat If over a level of 100.

Out of curiosity, why do you have a chlorine tablet in the skimmer and the floating dispenser? I thought you werent supposed to mix chemicals at the same time. Can you add shock and have chlorine tablets in the pool at the same time?

The numbers on the front of the bag designate the order of how you treat the pool. You should address the ph first. There’s an order to maintaining your pool with Chems. Do a Google search and copy the info to a note in your phone for easy reference. 😉

No. You should address alkalinity first. Then pH. Otherwise you will be chasing your tail

Try a brand new OTO (Orthotolidine Drops). It maybe old. I've never had that problem of turning orange before.

My clorine side was pretty dark yellow. And the strip said to shock it. So I did that and the clorine was orange, For 36hrs. I checked it after 36 hrs it was still dark yellow and the strip said I had to shock it. . I added some liquid clorine and it is dark orange again. What in the world. Why would it be orange after I shock it and the app says wait till clorine to go down then it's still orange and the app says shock the pool.
@jonahvlogsdiy4143
@jonahvlogsdiy4143 3 жыл бұрын
Great question. Mine has never turned orange but you may have shocked it too many times. If the strips are old or maybe sitting around too long it may give wrong info. If its already dark yellow, you've shocked it good already. Although I have used the strips, your most accurate is the Kit with the drops.

Don't add shock in hot water lol the fumes will get you used cold water instead same thing

I always do it outside with plenty of air. I avoid the fumes by keeping a distance & not breathing the fume. Cold water takes too long for the granulars to dissolve.

Useless, you should never use your fingers/thumbs when you shake the test kit after adding the drops in the tester....Unreal.

Sorry Peter, it's no worst than touching chlorine pucks with your bare hands when handing them. I wouldn't do it if I was handling many times during the day. Wash your hands off.

The problem with using your fingers isn’t a health issue as much as an accuracy issue. Your fingers will have chemical residue from prior tests as well as skin oils. Best to use the plastic cap and rinse it between tests
