About this deal

The recommended free chlorine level for most pools is somewhere between 2 and 3 parts per million (ppm), but it’s actually safe to swim at levels much higher than this. Despite having a number of methods at your disposal, the best thing you can do to fix a high chlorine level is to just let nature run its course.

Calcium levels are usually a factor in tiled pools. If you have a tiled pool and live in a soft water area, it’s important that you keep sufficient calcium in the pool water. This is not a problem in hard water areas, as the water supply will naturally contain enough calcium. Make sure your filter is working properly and that your pump runs at least 6 hours per day - preferably divided into two different intervals. There are two forms of flocculant you can use on your pool: Granular flocculant (aluminium sulphate) If your chlorine level is really high or you just don’t have the luxury of time, consider adding a chlorine neutralizer to your water.Each topic will give you a complete breakdown of what the chemicals do and how to use them correctly, so you can get to grips with how to maintain your home swimming pool efficiently. Just be sure to remove all chlorine sources from your pool. Turn off the chlorinator or saltwater chlorine generator, and take any chlorine tablets out of the pool skimmer or floater. You’ll also want to leave your pool cover off during this time, at least during the day.

Brush regularly, especially the pool walls and deep end, to prevent invisible algae colonies from forming. We created a ‘chlorine neutralizer dosage’ calculator so you can adjust the values yourself and get the exact dosage for each type. Apply each smaller dose, allowing time to thoroughly circulate (2-3 hours for commercial pools/6-8 hours for domestic pools) before re-testing chlorine/bromine level and if necessary adding further doses Pre-dissolve the product in a clean plastic container at a maximum rate of 100g of product per 2.2 gallons (10 litres) of clean warm water. Stir well to ensure product is fully dissolved. Carefully add the resulting solution to the pool whilst the pump(s) are turned "on", preferably near to the water inlets to aid distribution. A partial drain and refill might not be too much hassle if you’re correcting slightly over-chlorinated water, but if it’s only slight, you’re almost always going to be better off just waiting it out.With that predicament in mind, it’s important to make sure the alkalinity level of your pool is correct before any pH alterations are carried out. After the correct alkalinity level is established, test the pH level of the water. If the pH level needs increasing further, add sodium carbonate (pH plus)and, if it needs decreasing, add sodium bisulphate (pH minus). But where to start? What products do you need to maintain your pool? And how do you use them effectively? To help you wade through the myriad of dos and don’ts that pool maintenance brings with it, we’ve put together a comprehensive guide covering: User tip: If you’re using our multifunctional tabletswhich already contain algaecide, you should only dose your pool with 1 litre of algaecide for every 10,000 gallons of pool water at the start of each season. After that initial dose, the multifunctional tablets will supply sufficient algaecide to help prevent algae from getting established. So, if you’re starting with completely clean unchlorinated water, then you can set the dosing calculator to a ppm within that range, enter how many litres of water are in your pool, and our calculator will tell you the required amount of stabilised chlorine granules to add. Stabilised Chlorine Tabletsare provided in two tablet sizes: 20 gramsand 200 grams. Twenty-gram tablets are designed for maintaining above-ground swimming pools (which are typically smaller) while 200-gram tablets are designed for larger in-ground pools with a larger volume of water. They are added to the water via a floating dispenser or the skimmer basket.

Pre-dissolve the product in a clean plastic cpontainer at a maximum rate of 100g of product per 2.2 gallons (10ltrs) of clean warm water. Stir well to ensure product is fully dissolved. Carefully add the resulting solution to the pool whilst the pump(s) are turned "on", preferably near to the water inlets to aid distribution. While nobody buys a pool to give themselves lots of extra work or revel in the complexities of pool chemistry, carrying out effective pool maintenance on a regular basis is a hugely important part of owning and operating a pool.Do not pour this product into a pool skimmer basket containing chlorine tablets or any other product. Our most popular algae treatment, polyquat algaecide,is absorbed by organic debris such as leaves and dead algae, so it‘s important to clean the pool thoroughly with a brush or vacuum cleaner before starting the chemical treatment. It is very difficult to give an exact amount of calcium hypochlorite required to clear a green pool but as a guide: Reason for Testing: Maintaining the correct level of alkalinity in your pool helps prevent unwanted changes in the pH levels. If the alkalinity level is too low then the smallest amount of chemical treatment will alter the pH. If the alkalinity level is too high (over 180ppm) then it becomes very difficult to alter the pH. A level greater than 80ppm stabilises the pH of the water so that any chemical treatments or environmental factors will not rapidly alter the pH.
