If you’re experiencing high levels of total chlorine in your pool, but the free available chlorine is low (under 3 ppm), you must increase the free chlorine levels. In many cases, this will mean shocking the pool with liquid chlorine or granular pool shock, calcium hypochlorite (cal-hypo).
18 Απρ 2024 · Free chlorine levels could be too high due to over-chlorination, or a lack of proper balancing elements like cyanuric acid. This can occur if you add more chlorine than necessary, or if your pool’s stabilizer levels are incorrect.
1 Δεκ 2023 · Free Chlorine is high when the level exceeds 5 ppm and dangerously high when the level exceeds 7 – 8 ppm. Free Chlorine levels of 2 – 4 ppm are high enough to kill pathogens such as bacteria and algae and yet low enough for swimmer comfort.
8 Ιουλ 2024 · When shocking your pool, the goal is to significantly and quickly raise your free chlorine levels above your combined chlorine levels. So if you’re using cal-hypo shock, use 1 pound bag per 10,000 gallons of water.
4 Σεπ 2024 · Unlike combined chlorine, which has already reacted with contaminants and is less effective, free chlorine remains available to continuously sanitize the water, ensuring that it stays clear and safe for swimming. Maintaining the ideal free chlorine level is essential for effective pool sanitization.
16 Ιουλ 2023 · For example, if your total chlorine is much higher than your free chlorine, you have too much combined chlorine (chloramine) in your water and you need to get rid of them through a process known as shocking.
14 Οκτ 2024 · High levels of chlorine may indicate that the pool water has a high level of organic contaminants, such as bacteria or algae. Shocking the pool with a chlorine shock treatment will help eliminate these contaminants and restore the water to a healthy state.
