Testing Questions

[medvampire]

Sorry about the Ch vs Cl

Got "pool stored" on the pump and filter. My problem is that I work in rotation at a hospital for 7 days and have about 8 or so hours at home at that time. The kids talked me in to getting the pool but I enjoy it in my off time. I will test the cl and ph each day but I am nervious about adding chlorx when I cant be here to test the levels before the boys dive in.

Thanks
Steve

[Bleach=Chlorine?]

Steve,
If you add the bleach every night and then run the filter till morning the chlorine will be distrubuted throughout the water. As long as you aren't shocking the pool, i.e. dumping 4 jugs of chlorox in, it should be fine for them to go in the following morning. Just use the bleachcalc so you aren't dosing past target ppm.

** Also, I see from your sig that you use the Nature2... search for Nature 2 and read through the posts... you may have gotten 'pool stored' on that one too. Don't replace the cartridge next time.

Didnt plan to waste my $$$ on a nature 2 cartridge after reading here but I am gonna keep it in line for the trichlor tabs. I am put my bucks on one of bens kits

thanks
