We do use Aquakristal-b which is long term single dose disinfection product 100.000 Lt pool water just 5 Lt Aquakristal-b for min 4 weeks up to 10 weeks in season
Great video, very educational. My question is as I’ve been watching several of your videos and you seem to be in favor of using the 3 “ trichlor” tablets for sanitizing. In the past I’ve only used salt for sanitizing but it rusted out my Intex pool and this year we’re replacing our pool with another Intex pool and have decided to go with the regular chlorine route to prevent rust and damage to our pool and hopefully it will last longer this time around. I’ve been watching other videos who are in favor of liquid chlorine vs tablets due to the tablets being stabilized vs Unstabilized therefore making it difficult to control the CYA levels in a pool. Not sure if you combat this problem with use of the tablets or not or how you combat this problem, just wanted to know your thoughts on this or could you make a video pertaining to this? I’m curious to know as I’ve only dealt with a saltwater system. Also my new pool has “galvanized steel” but I’m still concerned about the threat of rust. Do you have any tips or tricks to help with that? I appreciate your help and all of your informative videos. Thanks 😉
Thank you for all your videos! I do have a question about mineral sanitizer. We have been using a solar copper ionizer for almost a year and it's been working great. The copper level in the pool keep increasing (which I'm assuming is normal). My question is, do I need to use a "metal out" at some point?
I have been doing good for my first time as a pool owner I think. I have been keeping everything balanced so far. I choose to use chlorine granules and been working well. I guess my question is if you keep your sanitizer at 3ppm at all times, why do a shock weekly, making the ppm go like 10 plus ppm?
What is your CYA level? Your minimum chlorine level should be based on CYA level. Chlorine level is typically higher than 3ppm because CYA levels are usually in the 60-80 range. If you maintain proper minimum chlorine levels, you DO NOT have to shock weekly.
To prolong pool usage in the north we have a heater. I have been told that switching to a saltwater system would be more corrosive to the heater and cause premature failure. Can you comment on that, as we currently only use chlorine?
My bromine is at 0 and my ph is 8.4. My pool was dark green I shocked it last night backwashed it this morning following your emergency system, (thank you) but now what? Do I triple shock again?
I like strips for ease and a big liquid kit for extreme accuracy. I like strips to get quick rough readings when I need to make adjustments on the spot. Then a nice 5-way liquid kit to test once a week to make sure I’m really good.
Every salt water pool already has an ionizer within the electrolytic cell of the SWG. That’s how the salt gets broken down onto chlorine. Perhaps you are instead referring to an ozonator?
No. You will still need chlorine. And then when the copper level is too high you will need a sequestering agent. Mineral systems are only a weak secondary sanitizer
No. Don’t mix bromine with chlorine water. But you can easily convert your spa to chlorine and then they can mix (still not ideal because pool and spa water are balanced differently)
How do you raise free chlorine? I have an intex pool. I’ve added chlorine tablets and have test strips but free chlorine doesn’t seem to budge. Thanks!
The chlorine won’t budge because those tablets are loaded with CYA that accumulates daily until your chlorine is rendered ineffective. Get your CYA checked and lowered
Hey Matt. Awesome video. I’ve been watching ever since I opened our pool this year thanks to you. But I’ve had a few questions regarding winterizing such as how many psi air compressor I will need or if I will need to drain the pool below the returns to get all the water out. We have 3 returns, 1 skimmer and a 6 foot main drain. Would you know of any air compressors that could do the job? Any advice would be appreciated. Also would you be willing to make a hands on video specifically on blowing out pool lines for winterizing. Thank you. Keep up the informative videos.
Any air compressor should do the trick. Even a shop vac can work. I’ll see if I can arrange a video like that this year. I can definitely do an animated version!
I can't seem to get my ph up to a suitable level. Have just added 2.75kgs of PH+ (2 doses) and still can't get a good ph reading in our 81,000 litre pool.
I have heard the indoor chlorine smell is actually the reaction to human pee in the water…meaning put regular chlorine water in a bucket then pee some in another…the. One with pee will smell
Ozone systems are just a backup to chlorine. I would treat them like a normal chlorine pool or a mineral system. But you're right, I should have at least mentioned them. Thanks for the heads up! I'll do a future video for sure all about these systems.

Hello, how is everything? We are a Brazilian chemical industry, and we manufacture chemical products for the treatment of swimming pool water. Congratulations on your videos, the contents are excellent. Our products for the treatment of swimming pool water are 100% chlorine free. Since the oxidation of water is done by hydrogen peroxide, and sanitization is done by a biocide based on quaternary ammonium salts. We would like to know if there is any swimming pool water disinfection methodology, similar to the one we use? Is hydrogen peroxide used in swimming pool water treatment in the United States? Could you tell us the benefits or harms of using it in water treatment?!

I have salt water,
chlorine granules
Trichlor pucks.
Leslie's Jumbo Tabs work great for our pool. Fill up the floating chlorinator!
We do use Aquakristal-b which is long term single dose disinfection product 100.000 Lt pool water just 5 Lt Aquakristal-b for min 4 weeks up to 10 weeks in season
Thank you for your videos, my pool if finally crystal clear this year because of me following your videos!
👍
Love your content! Thank you for being so informative.
New to the pool scene ! Thanks for all your informative videos
You bet!
Hello thank you for making these videos, question should I shock the pool before a pool party? Or what other product would you suggest?
Thank you for providing this educational video. Have you made a video on ozone systems coupled with chlorination for residual?
Thanks for this video! How long does sodium thiosulfate take to work after you add it to a pool?
Great video, very educational. My question is as I’ve been watching several of your videos and you seem to be in favor of using the 3 “ trichlor” tablets for sanitizing.

What about using chlorine when filling a pool with well water. We did and the water turned brown. What can we do to keep this from happening?
Thank you for all your videos! I do have a question about mineral sanitizer. We have been using a solar copper ionizer for almost a year and it's been working great. The copper level in the pool keep increasing (which I'm assuming is normal). My question is, do I need to use a "metal out" at some point?
Question : What PH level is the best to disinfectant the sea water pond ?
I have been doing good for my first time as a pool owner I think. I have been keeping everything balanced so far. I choose to use chlorine granules and been working well.
I guess my question is if you keep your sanitizer at 3ppm at all times, why do a shock weekly, making the ppm go like 10 plus ppm?
To remove chloramines that build up in the water and to really kill any bacteria that the normal level wouldn’t kill
What is your CYA level? Your minimum chlorine level should be based on CYA level. Chlorine level is typically higher than 3ppm because CYA levels are usually in the 60-80 range. If you maintain proper minimum chlorine levels, you DO NOT have to shock weekly.
What about UV light sanitizers? Good idea? Your view?
To prolong pool usage in the north we have a heater. I have been told that switching to a saltwater system would be more corrosive to the heater and cause premature failure. Can you comment on that, as we currently only use chlorine?
My bromine is at 0 and my ph is 8.4. My pool was dark green I shocked it last night backwashed it this morning following
your emergency system, (thank you) but now what? Do I triple shock again?
What do you like best, strips or liquid for water testing.
I like strips for ease and a big liquid kit for extreme accuracy. I like strips to get quick rough readings when I need to make adjustments on the spot. Then a nice 5-way liquid kit to test once a week to make sure I’m really good.
@@SwimUniversity thank you.
How soon after I sanitize can I shock the pool? We went on vacation and our above ground pool is back to square one lol.
how much Magnesium sulfate would I need for a 40,000 liter pool? (aussie)
For the salt system, do we need to add a little chlorine as back up or not? Please answer
No, unless your salt system isn't generating enough chlorine on its own.
I need yor help how can I remove stains from pool bottom please
Can I use an ionizer in my saltwater pool? And if so how does this affect my chemical levels and maintenance?
Every salt water pool already has an ionizer within the electrolytic cell of the SWG. That’s how the salt gets broken down onto chlorine.
Perhaps you are instead referring to an ozonator?
Can we use copper sulfate as alternative of chlorine to swimming pool? If yes, how much?
Thanks
No. You will still need chlorine. And then when the copper level is too high you will need a sequestering agent. Mineral systems are only a weak secondary sanitizer
Can you run both bromine and chlorine for running hot water by night and sunlight by day
No. You must choose either chlorine OR bromine as your primary sanitizer - not a mix of the two
Can i mix bromine and chlorine together in the same pool? My chlorine pool is too cold and I want to pump water from the hot tub into it.
No. Don’t mix bromine with chlorine water. But you can easily convert your spa to chlorine and then they can mix (still not ideal because pool and spa water are balanced differently)
What about UV lights with a salt water system?
How do you raise free chlorine? I have an intex pool. I’ve added chlorine tablets and have test strips but free chlorine doesn’t seem to budge. Thanks!
I'm also struggling with this
Use liquid chlorine for an instant jolt.
The chlorine won’t budge because those tablets are loaded with CYA that accumulates daily until your chlorine is rendered ineffective. Get your CYA checked and lowered

What about UV systems and Ozone to help sanitize your pool.
You will still need chlorine so ozone and uv not worth the expense and maintenance. Better off adding borates to reduce the chlorine demand
Does chlorine effect kids hair or hairs overall?
Chlorine levels are at 10ppm for three days now, pump running 24/7... help please
I can't seem to get my ph up to a suitable level. Have just added 2.75kgs of PH+ (2 doses) and still can't get a good ph reading in our 81,000 litre pool.
Make sure your testing gear is accurate. That might be the issue.
Does chlorine expire
I did the bbb method and my bromine is too high what did I do wrong?
You added too much bromine
Is a mineral pool the same as a magnesium pool?
No. The minerals are usually a combination of copper, zinc and silver
I have heard the indoor chlorine smell is actually the reaction to human pee in the water…meaning put regular chlorine water in a bucket then pee some in another…the. One with pee will smell
Urine does have an ammonia smell. But the odor from a foul pool is chlorAMINE which isn’t necessarily from urine - it’s just used up chlorine
Could shock be used as your only source of chlorine for your pool? 2021 is proving difficult for a new pool owner.
Most forms of shock are simply granulated chlorine sanitizer
Is bromine okay to use in an above ground pool “Intex”?
As far as I know, bromine is given by doctors to inhibit sexual function to pacients witj neuro conditions, so i believe is not safe.
What about ozone system?
Ozone systems are just a backup to chlorine. I would treat them like a normal chlorine pool or a mineral system. But you're right, I should have at least mentioned them. Thanks for the heads up! I'll do a future video for sure all about these systems.

The gentleman doesn’t explain why you can’t use bromine in an outdoor pool. -don from Lorain Ohio USA 🇺🇸
Have learned so much from your videos. However, you can't kill a virus. Chlorine is great with bacteria but has no impact on viruses.
