Re: How to properly chlorinate small 12'x30" intex pool? And few other questions.
Hi Folks,
Just test both the pool water and the tap water with the HTH6 kit here are the results:
Pool water:
Total chlorine/bromine - came out darker then the top window of 5ppm cl/10ppm br). The test strip says i'm somwhere in between of 5 and 10. My kids went in today and their eyes were burning, and the water stinks of chlorine.
Total pH - also came up that looked to be higher then the top window of 8.2.
Total alkalinity - 90ppm
Total hardness - 80ppm
CYA - Solution never turned cloudy. I emptied all 14ml into the view tube and could still see the dot at the bottom...
Tap water:
Total chlorine/bromine - looks to be at 0.5ppm chlorine, 1ppm bromine
Total pH - looked high again close to 8.2 (Is that normal to be high for tap water?)
Total alkalinity - 50ppm
Total hardness - 90ppm
Here are all the chemicals i have on-hand:
Clorinating ganuals by AquaChem:
trichloro-s-triazinetrione - 71.8%
boron sodium oxide - 8.0%
other ingridiant - enhancer/sunlight protector - 20.2%
(available chlorine 65%)
pH Up by Aquachem
Sodium Carbonate - 100%
Algeacide PLUS by Aquachem
copper metallic - 3.3% (active ingredient)
other ingredient - 96.7%
While at Walmart i also picked up a container of HTH shock 'n Swim
That's all
Thanks in advance!
