    Great videos. Could you make more videos about you taking care of your pool “chemicals”. See you testing your water and what your strip is saying and what do you do to resolve it. So many new pool owners l like me that I talk to are all overwhelmed with this. We test our water with strips but what do you do with the reading of the strip? lol. Also I heard there is a proper way to use test strips to get a good reading. Love the pool but it’s a stress for trying to keep the water properly treated.

So it’s green, bugs, leaves etc. It’s a 1,200 gallon above ground pool. How many chlorine tablets would I use? And other than the 1/12th of that shock bag, is there anything else I should use since we left it sitting so long ? Sorry for all the questions 😅

    Vinyl liner pool and I always dilute my chemicals in a bucket with a lot of water five gallons

  • @rough_operations
    @rough_operations Год назад

    Tip: tabs are acidic and will affect the pH in some cases (depending). You have a vinyl liner pool thus the pH will tend to drift down contrary to most situations with cement, pebble, etc surfaces. Perhaps liquid chlorine diluted (and it will not harm your liner as dry shock has potential to burn or discolor of all chlorine types - generally speaking. In conclusion, I’d use less tabs also because they are stabilized. I’d say .75-1 gallon liquid (sodium hypochlorite) with moderate use of tabs (keep an eye on cyunaric acid..). There’s much more to be said but again, dry chlorine is more costly and dangerous to store. Sodium hypochlorite is still the most effective and safe sanitizer

    • @aaronhoehn5703

    I have some questions 😅
    How many times do you have to do this routine?
    Also when can you swim in the pool after you add all the chemicals?
    do you take out the chlorine float when your swimming? And do you put it in before or after?

    • @dalesbackyardofficial
      @dalesbackyardofficial  4 месяца назад +1

      I test the water about once a week, but it also Depends on the usage and temperature. If you keep chlorine levels up, shouldn’t have to shock it again. If algae blooms, you’ll need shock.
      After adding chemicals, test the water again and if levels are good , you can swim right away .
      I always leave my chlorine float in the pool. It can stay when pool is being used, just make sure kids don’t play with it.

      After you add shock, I’d test the water to see if chlorine level is at target. If not high enough, add more. At same time, add the chlorine tablets in a float. They dissolve super slow and maintain the chlorine level. Chlorine slowly evaporates and the tablets slowly keep the level up 👍

    New sub . I just got that pool but it came with a way smaller pump. What pump are you using

      I recommend a sand filter. I recently released a video on the latest one I’m using

    What if you are using liquid chlorine? Will this be good enough?

      I found the 7 in 1 shock treatment, but do you put that in every week along with your pucks?

      Just once in a while to get levels back up if needed. I don’t add regularly, only if chlorine level falls too much or you get and algae bloom or something
