This only a worry when the chlorine reading is over 10ppm. If this is the case then this can be immediately reduced by using dechlorinator. Otherwise if starved of chlorine the level will come down naturally over time. It is advised that the pool is not used until the level drops below 10ppm. Ideally the chlorine level should be between 1 and 3ppm.

The POOL FROG, when used as a complete system with periodic shocking, offers complete pool care in one complete unit. Some builders promote the addition of other systems to compliment the POOL FROG, such as Ozone Systems or Salt Chlorine Generators. Both of these systems are compatible with the POOL FROG. Ozone acts as a shocking mechanism reducing the need for shock. We still require a low-level chlorine residual in the pool at all times.

Keeping the water in your pool sanitized and crystal clear is now easier than ever. Salt chlorine generators use common table salt to produce all the chlorine your pool needs. New IntelliChlor??? from Pentair provides this convenience and goes further. Its built-in, user-friendly controls make managing your pool's chlorine level easier and more foolproof than older systems - in fact, chlorine adjustment is as straightforward as pressing two buttons. Getting started with IntelliChlor is simple.

High chlorine can cause your eyes to burn but it is more than likely due to poorly balanced water. Improperly balanced pH would be the most likely cause. This is why water balance is so important.

There are two kinds of chlorine found in pool/spa water: free (able to destroy microorganisms) and combined (unable to destroy microorganisms). Public pools and spas should have a free residual chlorine level of a minimum of 1.0 parts per million (ppm) if cyanuric acid is not used, and 1.5 ppm if a cyanuric acid is used. There should always be an operable automatic chlorinator when the pool and/or spa is open. The automatic chlorinator can be adjusted to maintain a safe level of chlorine.

Do not swim in a chlorinated pool or salt water for at least two weeks after your Liscio straightening. Also, you should avoid extensive sun exposure during this time.

The salinity level is 17 times less than sea water and will not harm your pool equipment. Besides the low salinity, most pool equipment is plastic, including most pumps.

By added a nominal amount of salt to your pool water you can install a device that works when the pump runs. The device will convert the salt in the pool water to chlorine while the pump runs.

The answer to this depends on the patient's heart failure severity. The Recommended Dietary Allowance of sodium is 2400 milligrams, but patients with Class III-IV heart failure should limit their intake to 2000 milligrams or less. top

YES. The Sigma III is designed to prevent algae and bacteria from growing in your pool water. Occasionally your pool may be filled with an overload of bacteria in a short period of time ( a storm or a pool party, for example). In such instances you will need to oxidize your pool in order to take care of the extreme levels of bacteria quickly. In this situation we recommend using a non-chlorine oxidizer, like potassium monopersulfate.

There is no chlorine used in our pool. An ozonator cleans and disinfects the water without the use of any chemicals.

Yes. But since the attached hair is human hair, it is sensitive to all chemicals. Hair should be braided. After swimming, a conditioner or cream rinse should be used immediately.

This is common myth in the pool industry. Believe it or not the problem is you do not have enough chlorine, free chlorine, in the water. This occurs when chlorine in the pool is "tied up" with a nitrogen or ammonia compounds to form chloramines, causing the strong odor. The cure for this is to superchlorinate the pool to "free" the chlorine and allow it to start working to sanitize the water.

No, it means you have too many "chloramines" in the pool. This is chlorine that has already bound up with contaminants in the water and is no longer an effective sanitizer. Shock the pool to remove the chloramines and your odor will go away.

I recommend conducting a preliminary strand test first, especially if you have blonde hair and swim in chlorinated pool; your hair may have a green cast after a TR service. Or, have your stylist use a clarifying shampoo and treatments for a few weeks before receiving TR.

Chlorine kills germs in pools---but it takes time to work. Therefore, it's important to make sure chlorine levels are always at recommended levels (usually between 1.0 - 3.0 ppm). All sorts of things can reduce chlorine levels in pool water. Some examples are sunlight, dirt, debris, and material from swimmer's bodies. That's why chlorine levels must be routinely measured. However, the time it takes for chlorine to work is also affected by the other member of the disinfection team, pH.
