Tri Chlor Chlorine

Swimming Pool Problems and Simple Corrective Measures

One of the worst things about owning a pool is looking out your back window of your home and seeing that the pool water is a nasty shade of green. Now what? The family is ready to go swimming but the pool is a mess. The fix to your swimming pool problems may be as simple as some of the following suggestions.

- No free available chlorine. Use your test kit to check the chlorine and pH levels. Remember to make sure that the test kit reagents are not out of date and or the test strips are still current. Add chemicals as needed.
- Poor water circulation. Check the filter is it dirty. If you have a cartridge filter is the cartridge worn out? If you have a DE filter is it time to backwash or completely tear down the filter, check the grids and re-charge the system with clean filter powder. If your system has a sand filter it might be time to empty the sand and recharge the filter.
- Check the pump basket. If the basket full? Check to make sure that the basket is in good condition. A cracked or broken basket can allow items to bypass into the pump impeller, causing pump failure.
- Lack of proper swimming pool maintenance,which includes periodic super-chlorination and fresh water replacement. Remember to brush your swimming pool surface on a regular basis.
- Check the level of Cyanuric Acid (Also known as CYA, Stabilizer and Conditioner) in the pool water. Levels over 80ppm can cause the water to "Cloud Up". The best way to lessen the amount of Cyanuric Acid levels in your pool is to drain some of the water and re-fill with fresh water. Remember after doing this to check ALL your chemistry levels and readjust as needed. (If you are using Tri-Chlor tablets to sanitize your pool water, check your CYA levels frequently. Most "Tri-Chlor" tablets will contain levels of stabilizer or CYA.)

Possibly the pool water is not green but just cloudy; here are some suggestions for this type of water problem.

- Algae in the water - Check your pool chemistry and adjust as needed
- Too high a hardness level - Use your test kit to monitor. If the harness is too high some dilution might be needed.
- Too much backwashing of the filter. Backwashing causes pool water to be flushed out of the pool, remember after major backwashing and addition of fresh water to the pool to check your pool chemistry.
- Plugged or channeled filter. Clean your pool filter, replace the filter media if necessary.
- Improper pH - Adjust your pH to the recommended levels.
- Improper total alkalinity levels - Adjust as needed.
- High total dissolved solids content in the water. If the total dissolved solids content is to high some dilution might be needed.

Owning a swimming pool does not need to be a time consuming, pain in the neck chore. With the correct equipment installed (pump, filter, automatic cleaner, chemical feeder, valves) and a good test kit, keeping your swimming pool water crystal clear and ready for swimming is easy and fun.

You simply pull the red end caps off the container and insert it inside the Frog cycler. With the adjustable flow valve on the cycler you can adjust the flow of the mineral pac and the Bac Pac into the pool that works for you. This is dependent on the amount of time your filter is run. If your filter runs 24/7 you will adjust the feed rate way down. Conversely, if you run your filter 4-8 hours a day, you will adjust the feed rate higher so as to input enough silver and chlorine into the pool. The Bac Pac will last you between 2 and 3 weeks in most pools.Looking for a Different Size or Model? Click here to view all related products.
