Chemical Balance Management

Daily Chemical Adjustments

Chlorine Level Management:

CHLORINE ADDITION METHODS:
Liquid Chlorine (Sodium Hypochlorite):
□ Fast-acting and dissolves quickly
□ Add directly to deep end while pump running
□ Typical dosage: 1 gallon raises 10,000 gal by 1 ppm
□ Best for daily maintenance additions
□ Store in cool, dark location
□ Replace every 2-3 months

Granular Chlorine (Calcium Hypochlorite):
□ Higher chlorine content than liquid
□ Pre-dissolve in bucket before adding
□ Add during evening hours
□ Typical dosage: 2 oz raises 10,000 gal by 1 ppm
□ Store in dry, ventilated area
□ Never mix with other chemicals

Chlorine Tablets (Trichlor):
□ Slow-dissolving maintenance method
□ Use in automatic chlorinator or floater
□ Contains cyanuric acid (stabilizer)
□ Monitor cyanuric acid levels regularly
□ Typical dosage: 1 tablet per 5,000 gallons
□ Replace tablets as needed

CHLORINE CALCULATION:
Pool Volume × Desired Increase (ppm) ÷ Product Strength = Amount Needed

Example for 20,000-gallon pool:
Current Chlorine: 1.0 ppm
Desired Level: 2.5 ppm
Increase Needed: 1.5 ppm
Liquid Chlorine (12.5%): 20,000 × 1.5 ÷ 10 = 3,000 ml (3 liters)

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:
□ Add chemicals to water, never water to chemicals
□ Wear protective equipment (gloves, goggles)
□ Add chemicals with pump running
□ Never mix different chemical types
□ Store chemicals separately and securely
□ Keep detailed chemical addition logs

pH Adjustment Protocol:

pH INCREASE (SODIUM CARBONATE):
When to Add:
□ pH below 7.2
□ After heavy chlorine additions
□ After acidic weather (rain)
□ When alkalinity is adequate
□ Before adding other chemicals

Application Method:
□ Broadcast over deep end with pump running
□ Allow 4-6 hours circulation before retesting
□ Add gradually to avoid overshooting
□ Typical dosage: 6 oz per 10,000 gal raises pH by 0.2

pH DECREASE (MURIATIC ACID):
When to Add:
□ pH above 7.6
□ When total alkalinity is high
□ After sodium hypochlorite additions
□ When scaling is occurring
□ Before shocking pool

Application Method:
□ Dilute acid in bucket of water (10:1 ratio)
□ Pour slowly into deep end with pump running
□ Add near return jet for quick mixing
□ Wait 4-6 hours before retesting
□ Typical dosage: 1 cup per 10,000 gal lowers pH by 0.2

SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS:
□ Always add acid to water, never reverse
□ Wear protective equipment
□ Add during windy conditions for ventilation
□ Keep acid away from chlorine products
□ Store in original containers
□ Have neutralizing agent available

Shock Treatment Schedule:

ROUTINE SHOCK TREATMENT:
Weekly Maintenance Shock:
□ Every 7-10 days during normal use
□ After heavy bather loads
□ When combined chlorine detected
□ Before special events or rentals
□ After rainstorms or contamination

Shock Dosage Calculations:
Standard Shock: 1 lb per 10,000 gallons
Heavy Shock: 2 lbs per 10,000 gallons
Algae Treatment: 3-4 lbs per 10,000 gallons
Contamination: 5+ lbs per 10,000 gallons

SHOCK PROCEDURE:
1. Test water chemistry first
2. Adjust pH to 7.2-7.4 if needed
3. Calculate required shock amount
4. Pre-dissolve granular shock in bucket
5. Add to pool with pump running
6. Brush pool surfaces after adding
7. Run pump continuously for 8-12 hours
8. Test chlorine before allowing swimming
9. Wait until chlorine drops below 3 ppm

POST-SHOCK MONITORING:
□ Test chlorine levels every 2-4 hours
□ Monitor water clarity improvement
