What does chlorine really do?
In most areas of the country, the circulating range of 1.0 – 1.5 ppm of chlorine will do the job of killing the bacteria in the water. Above this range high concentrations will attack the liner, bleach it and shorten the life. Below the range may not kill the bacteria, causing unsanitary conditions and possible staining of your liner.Tip: Never let chlorine come into contact with the liner before it has fully dissolved. This means that granular or tabulated chlorine is dissolved in water first, and likewise liquid chlorine is poured in various locations around the pool and is immediately agitated, dispersed and circulated. The broadcasting of tablets, granules or concentrated chemicals can blend the liner and shorten the life of the liner. Never mix chemicals together, rather add chemicals to pool water separately and circulate throughout the pool before adding another chemical. Ensuring your system is running while adding chemicals can do this.Note: The use of an automatic chlorinator
