As long as you have a swimming pool, you’re going to need chlorine to maintain it. That’s because chlorine is the one effective chemical that works against harmful microorganisms, and thus, keeping the pool sanitized. But how do you apply it? Surely, you must have realized that there must be more to it than simply throwing some powdery substance into the pool and hoping it dissipates well enough before your next dive. What quantity do you apply based on your pool size and how do you do it? This article will show you how to add liquid chlorine to the pool so that you can ensure your water is clean before the next dive.<\/span><\/p>\n

How to Add Liquid Chlorine to Pool<\/span><\/h2>\n

All the questions mentioned above are all valid questions you need answered prior to adding liquid chlorine to your pool.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

Before you get to the actual application though, know that some of the easiest chlorine products to apply in your pool are of the liquid chlorine variety. They usually come in measured quantities, so it’s easier to pick the gallon in accordance to your pool size. <\/span><\/p>\n

Besides, liquid chlorine can easily be connected to your mechanical chlorinators – meaning you may not need to monitor the whole chlorine maintenance process, because it will be done automatically.<\/span><\/p>\n

Chlorine Application – Frequently Asked Questions <\/span><\/h3>\n

How Should I Apply Chlorine To My Pool? <\/span><\/h4>\n

You can either feed the liquid chlorine through your pool’s mechanical chlorinator, or pour the solution directly into the pool – preferably while the pool’s filter is running.<\/span><\/p>\n

When Is The Best Time To Apply Chlorine? <\/span><\/h4>\n

The first thing you should take note of, in regard to chlorine application is sunlight. Before any application, make sure there’s no sunlight, which leaves early mornings and evening as the best time to apply chlorine in your pool. <\/span><\/p>\n

How Much Chlorine Should I Add To My Pool?<\/span><\/h4>\n

That depends on a few things. If you add chlorine to the pool while the filter is running (which is always encouraged), you may get a slightly different concentrate than if the filter isn’t running. The most important factor though is the size of the pool. You’ll need about 52-104 oz of liquid chlorine per 10,000 gallons of water. This <\/span>amount<\/span><\/a> should get the chlorine level to between 5 and 10 ppm. <\/span><\/p>\n

What’s the Active Ingredient In Chlorine? <\/span><\/h4>\n

Sodium Hypochlorite <\/span><\/p>\n

What’s the pH Level?<\/span><\/h4>\n

Between 12.3 and 12.9 <\/span><\/p>\n

What’s The Right Quantity Of Chlorine To Add When Winterizing? <\/span><\/h4>\n

If the water is clean and clear, then add about 3 oz of liquid chlorine per 1000 gallons of water – while the pool filter is running. This should give you a chlorine level of about 3 <\/span>ppm<\/span><\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n

Next Steps<\/span><\/h5>\n

Liquid chlorine is one of the safest means of <\/span>sanitizing your swimming pool<\/span><\/a>, without worrying about putting excess (since each gallon contains a measured quantity) in your pool. It’s a non-inflammable liquid, thus extremely safe to use. Keep in mind that you can always attach the liquid chlorine to the mechanical chlorinator of the pool – if you’re worried about how to apply liquid chlorinator to the pool manually. You can use it both during bikini season, to keep the pool sanitized, and during winterization and openings. <\/span><\/p>\n

So, are you looking for ways on how to add liquid chlorine to pool? You can either feed the liquid chlorine through your pool’s mechanical chlorinator, or pour the solution directly into the pool. This is preferably done when the sun isn\u2019t out so that you achieve the best results. For additional help or pro-tips, contact the pool professional at <\/span>Iron Man Pool Care<\/span><\/a>.
