Keeping your pool healthy and clean is every pool owner’s top priority. Chlorine is indispensable in swimming pool disinfection and plays a vital role. However, there is diversity in the choice of chlorine disinfection products. And different types of chlorine disinfectants are added in different ways. Below, we will give a detailed introduction to several common chlorine disinfectants.
According to the previous article, we can learn that the commonly used chlorine disinfectants in swimming pool maintenance include solid chlorine compounds, liquid chlorine (bleach water), etc. The following three categories are explained:
Common solid chlorine compounds are trichloroisocyanuric acid, sodium dichloroisocyanurate, bleaching powder. Such compound substances are usually provided as powders, granules or tablets.
Among them, TCCA dissolves relatively slowly and is added in the following ways:
1. Using a pool chlorine float is a common and simple way to apply tablet chlorine to your swimming pool. Make sure the float is designed for the type of chlorine and tablet size you are using. Simply place the desired number of tablets into the float and place the float into the pool. You can open or close the vents on the float to speed up or slow down the release of chlorine. To ensure that the chlorine is evenly distributed, you need to make sure that the float doesn’t drift into corners or get stuck on the ladder and stay in one place.
2. A dosing system or an in-line chlorine dispenser connected to the pool pump and filter lines is an effective way to use tablets to evenly distribute chlorine throughout the pool.
3. You can add some chlorine tablets to your pool skimmer.
SDIC dissolves quickly and can be administered in the following two ways:
1. SDIC can be put directly into the pool water.
2. Dissolve SDIC directly in the container and pour it into the pool
Calcium Hypochlorite
When using calcium hypochlorite granules, they need to be dissolved in a container and left to stand, and then the supernatant liquid is poured into the swimming pool.
Calcium hypochlorite tablets need to be put into the dispenser for use
bleaching water
bleaching water (sodium hypochlorite) can be splashed directly into the swimming pool. But it does have a shorter shelf life and lower available chlorine content than other forms of chlorine. The amount added each time is huge. The pH value needs to be adjusted after addition.
Remember, when in doubt, consult with a qualified pool professional for personalized guidance tailored to your specific pool needs
