Keeping your pool clean and safe this summer

Getting Chlorine into the Pool

​- Chlorinators are the easiest and simplest. 
- Broadcast on the water. 
- A floater in the pool. 
- Never put in the skimmer basket, it will ruin the plastic. 

​Alkalinity 

​- Maintain at 80 - 120 
- High alkalinity can cause water to be cloudy. 
- Reduce with muratic acid, one quart of acid to one gallon of water, and pour in a column, slowly, in the deep end of the pool. Repeat daily, until reading is reduced. 
- Low alkalinity causes scaling and corosion. 
- Raise alkalinity by adding sodium bicarbonate, (baking soda).
