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.

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.

In residential pools, there is no legal requirement to use chlorine at all. In fact, many ion users don't. They use a non chlorine shock or ozone and are very happy. However, we are not suggesting or recommending the ion system is an alternative to chlorine alone. There are reports that show that a low level of chlorine and the use of an ion system is a much better way to sanitize than either method alone.

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.

Chlorine total is the total amount added to the water for treatment. Chlorine free is the amount of chlorine available in the water for treatment. Chlorine total should always be equal to or greater than chlorine free.

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

Hypochlorous Acid, Hypochlorite Ions or as dissolved elemental Chlorine. Free Available chlorine is 'free' in the sense that it has not reacted with anything and 'available' in the sense that it can and will react if needed.

Free Available Residual Chlorine (FRC) is Free Available Chlorine after treating the water with chlorine. That portion of the total available residual chlorine composed of Dissolved Chlorine gas cl2), Hypochlorous Acid (HOCl), and/or Hypochlorite Ion (OCl-) remaining in water after chlorination. This does not include chlorine that has combined with ammonia, nitrogen, or other compounds.

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.
