Tired of using chlorine tablets or granules in your pool? Liquid chlorine can be a great alternative. And depending on the size of your pool, it only takes a gallon or two each week to keep your water sanitized. But you’ll need to buy some other chemicals, like chlorine stabilizer, to make sure it works properly. And you’ll need to double or triple your dose of liquid chlorine if you’ve got issues like algae. So here’s a quick guide on how to add liquid chlorine to your pool.

you guys are the best. seriously.
Happy to help!
Thank you for your helpful videos! 💦 👍👍👌
Glad you like them!
Great video, agree with everything! Liquid chlorine only temporarily increases the pH. Afther a few hours the pH should be equal to before you started the addition. HOCl turns into HCl (which lowers the pH) and NaCl (salt) if you have a salt water pool. I would advise anyone with a swg who temporarily shocks the pool (to lower combined chlorine e.g.) to turn off the swg for a couple of hours as inside the swg combined with higher pH will create a (higher) LSI violation and may create calcium. Thanks for this video with your great advice.
Thanks for the science behind that! And good advice on turning off the salt water generator for a bit
I have a hot tub and have been using stabilized chlorine granuals. In your opinion is liquid chlorine and cya better than granulated chlorine. Should I consider changing?
Are there any other ways to lower CYA other than draining?
The CYA reducers have mixed results. You can try it if you absolutely can't drain and refill your pool. But that's the only guaranteed way to bring down CYA.
I just went through this. bought a 1/2 hp utility pump off amazon and hooked up a garden hose. ran the hose to my sewer drain out. just do partial drain and refill. I let it drop 7 or 8 inches then refilled. then repeated that process three times. My CYA and total hardness dropped to good levels and I was able to slowly balance it back correctly. hope that helps.
Been using liquid chlorine for years ...never had an issue 😊
That's great! What size is your pool?
@@SwimUniversity 12 x 18..2 cups of chlorine a day all summer snd that's it ! 😎
You add 2 cups every day? Our pool is 14 feet.
I get it. He said if you don't add stabilizer, do this daily. Got it!
@@nathanharper7562I bring up my stabilizer to the correct level at the start of the season and never touch it again
I did liquid chlorine for a while thinking it was better because it would be effective immediately and not have to be disolved like granules or tablets. It worked for a time but then I would still get green water even with very high chlorine levels. Dichlor granules seemed to work better for me. I do have a question though - some sources say it is not advised to use different chlorines in the same pool, such as using dichlor and trichlor at the same time. What are your thoughts on that?
Yeah, that's the downside to liquid chlorine: it's less potent. Great for smaller pools, but requires so much more in bigger pools. Plus CYA. I wouldn't risk mixing chlorine. You should never mix two types of chlorine together outside of the pool. Which also means that you shouldn't mix them in a "container" like a chlorinator or floater.
@@SwimUniversity I understand not mixing different chlorines before adding them to the pool, I was asking about using different chlorines in the same pool. I would assume that is OK?
Why does my pool have a chorine block? I’ve taken it to 2 different places for testing the waterline alkalinity and ph were adjusted. Water is clear . I can see clearly in the deep end. My pool is close to 30,000 gallons.
What's your chlorine at? Check out this article we have for help: www.swimuniversity.com/chlorine-lock/ TLDR: Shocking can help.
i have an oxygen-systems(ozone) pool. do you have any videos or insights on that?
We can make a video about those systems in the future!

My Liquid trichlor chlorine gallon bottles say they're 90% chlorine, not 10%; in such case, how much should I drop weekly? shock? I have 22,000 gal pool. I also have a chlorinator where I can drop chlorine tabs; how many chlorine tabs should be in there at a time? fill up the whole chlorinator and change the setting?
You need 4-5 tablets (3 inch) to sanitize 22,000 gallons of water (1 tablet for every 5,000 gallons). What brand is your liquid chlorine? It should definitely not be 90%.
Are you saying “maintenance dose” as one treatment? For example my 10k gal pool adding 1 gallon of 12% raises my chlorine 12ppm. Should I be dosing it all at once because I usually daily dose around 12-24 oz depending on my daily loss. Thanks for sharing these videos with all of us!
Are you doing this daily without CYA?
@@SwimUniversity cya 45 using pucks in chlorinator set very low.
I shocked my salt pool due to Algae with tablets and had calcium issues for months. Bought liquid for the future. Never again. No pool guy is using solid chlorine, they all use liquid!
Now talk about the downfall of CYA
For the life of me I can’t get the pool clear up its still cloudy
Use a clarifier
Check filter. 🫡
What have you tried so far? And how are your chemistry levels?
A good corded pool vacuum with extra fine filter will also help with proper chemicals
When is the last time you did any maintenance on your pool pump?
How’s your circulation?
