I really like the way this is explained. I especially like the "do's & don'ts" information. As much as I love my local pool supplies store, they won't hesitate to sell me something extra if they can!

How to winterize pool using BBB method?

I really dispise the overuse of Chlorine to simplify terms. Chlorine is a gas. Only liquid under pressure and super dangerous.

Great explanation

Thank you for this clarity

Watch the PH video before watching this.

Your guides on these basic pool "must knows "are the best I've seen and explained at the perfect level of detail.

Putting granular CYA in sock and putting the sock in a chlorine floater has worked well for me. I go out every so often, take the sock out and give it squeeze. Easier than trying to suspend sock near return jet.

If i add borax to my pool will I still need chlorine?

So total alkalinity is independent of PH. Want to raise PH add baking soda. Want to lower PH add acid. Do the exact same thing with alkalinity. Got it.👍

Shock chlorine has no cya stabilizer, chlorine does. Your welcome.

what if it's a small kiddie pool? can I just chuck the amount needed in there or do i have to buy another thing?

If CYA does not evaporate with water, then why does topping up the pool to replace the water that evaporates raise the CYA level? Example. In a 25000 gallon pool the water weight is 195000 lbs (25000 gallons times 7.8 lbs / gallon). For CYA concentration of 30ppm, then there is 195000 times 30/1000000 = 5.85 lbs of CYA. If 1000 gallons of water evaporated & was replaced with 1000 gallons of fresh water, then the amount of CYA in the pool is the same (CYA does not evaporate) and the evaporated water has been replaced with fresh water, then the ratio of CYA to water is the same. However, the video at 5:25 states topping up the pool with fresh water will dilute & lower your CYA.

I dont understand what I'm looking at for the correct level. How do I know what the chart is reading. It goes from yellow fades up to red like the color of the drops I put in

Narrator has a nice voice

The total hardness of my pool water is way too high (Vegas). I bought flocculant to reduce the hardness. Is that appropriate?

What about 35% hydrogen peroxide? Can this be used as a shock - treatment.

:O

Excellent info. Better than other vids by far.

So if the test strip showa 0 total Chlorine and the free Chlorine says its in the ok range, thats ok?

Very useful for my assignment thank you!

Thank you sir😊

Excellent advice! I have a swg but until now I have been able to use 25 to 30 ppm CYA and maintaining 7.5% of free chlorine. So since 30ppm already gives a 98% protection per hour I am ok. I think using 60 to 80ppm would only increase kill times of bacteria etc. Some say however the swg has to work less so you would increase the life expectancy. On the other hand high levels of chlorine are not advisable for the pool (esp vinyl) and are not good for bather comfort. So my ideal CYA values is 25 to 30ppm. Thanks for this video!

Exactly what I do, except my unstabilized chlorine is made by a swg. CYA granules are a bit difficult to solve in a bucket but that's the only thing really. Some put these in a sock in the skimmer but I prefer to dilute first in a bucket and then slowly pour it in the pool right in front of a return at the deep end. You don't need a lot of CYA to add now and then.

Studying for my pool operator exam, love these videos clear and easy to follow

Well explained ! Thank you

Great information, exactly what I needed to know. Thank you ❤

Are you still supposed to use shock in a salt water pool.

We are wondering about the 'DryTec 1-1901-24 Calcium Hypochlorite Chlorine Shock Treatment for Swimming Pools, 1-Pound' . It says on package to broadcast over water in pool, but some floated and some sank to bottom where we had to use the brush to stir up until it dissolved. Is it okay to dissolve in a bucket of water before pouring it in, even though it says not to do that, on the package? Is there any dangerous reason not to dissolve it first? Thanks!

Love your video, very helpful but have a customer who opening her pool she was adding loads of stabilised Chlorine granules instead of Shock, now her CNA is always very high, how can I lower this without emptying pool and adding fresh water ????

Wow.. this has to be the best presentation ever on the subject.. thanks! 👍😎✊

Hello, thanks for this amazing video. I live in mexico and we use underground water to fill the pool. Today i have fully emptied the pool and filled it again. Now the alkalinity level is way too high and the PH way too low. I put (ph dicreaser) to lower the alkalinity but it doesnt lower. How can i lower it without lowering the PH level? Many thanks for your help

Liquid chlorine doesn’t have any conditioner so your CYA level is remarkably stable year round. I switch to tabs in a floater only when away on vacation. This replenishes the little bit of stabilizer lost to splash out and carry out. Regular use of stabilized tablets is easily the most common trouble maker for the average homeowner.

Very clear and easy to follow. Thank you 🙏

i think shrek is hot af

I have a question about shocking a pool. I bought Clorox shock in one pound bags. They say in the instructions. "Broadcast in pool's deepest area with filter and pump on. Run filter and pump for 4-8 hours. DO NOT pre-dissolve. DO NOT add through skimmer or feeder, and DO NOT mix with other chemicals". My above ground pool is only one depth. When I add the powder it just sinks to the bottom which I believe caused my liner to fade in certain areas. Why not pre-dissolve? Is it better to use liquid chlorine for shock instead of powder to avoid this problem in the future?

Can I just use shock then and forget the chlorine?

It was unclear to me why having a high TA is bad if your pH is ideal?
