I feel bad for the owner and want to make sure that they are not causing any unnecessary issues for the pool. We had found out that when the company put on our pool finish someone accidentally put some silicone in the stone scape finish.
We have a couple spots that were like caulk and have come off leaving a spot that looks like a rusty spot. We do not know how much silicone was mixed in the finish. The contractor has offered us a discount because they had put the wrong color finish. We have been swimming since the beginning of July. We have not given the final payment yet.
The silicone was removed from another pool when someone thought it belonged in the mix. Any advice? Are we long term problems with this finish? Should we make the contractor replace the finish? Or seek legal advice? This is more of a question for a contractor or installer. You might want to give the people at TroubleFreePool. I just have one question, Matthew, do all pools come with a Manuel?
Do Manuels clean the pool for you? This thread is the bomb! Recently we switched over to a saltwater system which I absolutely love. I do not like running a boost though because I think it puts a lot of strain on the salt cell, my pump, my energy bill Etc… when we have had a lot of rain, I have taken a chlorine tablet and smashed it into small chunks.
These are leftovers from my chlorinated system. I take one of the chunks and I put it in the skimmer at the beginning of the day when the system First turns on.
By the end of the day it has completely dissolved. I have been doing this for the last couple weeks and every week we have had our water professionally tested with perfect results.
That is all I have done I have not added any other chemicals. That being said, am I still causing harm by performing my chip method? The chip method may be causing damage to parts, just in smaller increments. Because either way you slice it or crumble it there is still undiluted chlorine coming in contact directly with your pump and filter parts.
Since you are in Florida, I would go to one of the hundreds of pool stores, or even a Publix to get a floater. They are super cheap and simple. Drop a whole tablet in the container and throw it in the pool.
It does the same basic job as the skimmer basket method, without the chance of equipment damage. I was just looking for a way to use up the 3 tablets we had. Good to know anyways!
PS… Sure, we can be friends lol! I just moved into this house. It did not come with Manuel and my floater was bought from a pool supply without a box or Manuel. Otherwise I would not have taken the time to ask you. Nice attitude. I have a 15 x 35 in ground liner pool.
How many chlorine tablets to use in a floater? I was advised by pool company not to put tablets in skimmer and to use a floater. Read the manual, it should list the capacity of the floater, and put that many in.
Give it a few days, test the water and see how the chemical levels are doing to determine if there needs to be a change in your approach. Hi, I just bought an above ground ring pool. I would prefer to use salt instead of chemicals.
I currently have the pool, a pump and a filter that all came as a package. Amanda, We have an article that covers what you need for the conversion. Take some time to read through it, here: Converting Your Pool to Saltwater. Thanks Matt. This is very helpful. In the interest of finances, I am wondering if all the mentioned equipment is really necessary or if it possible to test the pool each water and add salt as needed instead of buying an actual salt system?
Chlorinators are separate devices that usually run at the filter site, and can use granular chlorine, chlorine tablets, or liquid chlorine, depending on chosen equipment. With a chemical feeder you should have no spikes in chlorine levels or acidity, nor should you experience a low- or zero-reading that can result in the growth of bacteria and green algae. You will still want to test your water daily to ensure proper levels, but an automated chemical feeder provides more consistency and less daily chemical maintenance.

Of course, where you put them matters, hence this entire post.
Just add the right amount of tablets for your pool size, and your good to go in just a few seconds. Beyond size, there are also a few other differences between chlorine tablets when it comes to ingredients. This refers to a specific ingredient, known as cyanuric acid CYA , which helps to shield chlorine from burning up under the sun. Stabilized chlorine contains CYA, which helps it last much longer , and work properly even in sunlight. Certain chlorine tablet manufacturers also include extra chemicals, like algaecides and clarifiers in their products.
These are helpful additions, but can always be added separately if needed later. So choose the tablets that fit your needs and budget. Most chlorine tablets will do an equally good job at keeping your pool clean. To keep things easy, remember that a single 3-inch tablet can sanitize up to 5, gallons of water.
Which means four tablets are enough to sanitize a 20,gallon pool. So you would use 3 tablets for your 14,gallon pool. Finally, the most important part of this post — how to add chlorine tablets to your swimming pool.
Great point. Yes, chlorine tablets are designed to go in your water. Leaving chlorine tablets on the bottom of your pool can cause permanent staining and bleach liners. So they dissolve slower and release sanitizer unevenly.
