Pool School 101: Testing Chemicals

[TheJustIdea]

wow, stupid way to pour acid. guys pour low and slow and make sure you have your pump on and you mix with a brush. Also I would add chlorine at least 2-3 hours after the acid.

[MattMasiewicz]

I've been a pool service pro for 15 years, this guy knows his stuff. Thumbs up.

[OUARNP]

Very helpful - thank you! Just the chemical balancing of chlorine reducing pH was a major help. Took chem in 1984 so I look forward to your next video on hardness. I appreciate your help!

[LATUSITA56]

where did you get that kind of chlorine

[k6121716]

pay attention kids, never toss the used chemicals from the test into the pool, toss into the yard or deck drain.

[TheAukster21]

@k6121716 Ya no kidding... stupid people do that all the time

[wcossie]

[wcossie]

[CCEProductions0]

@wcossie Second vid is coming soon stay posted.

[SuperJailBros12345]

on the same shit??

[Sh9168]

In a public pool you need to test more then once a day. In a private pool you only need to test once or twice a week.

[filip3220]

how much PH do u want, 7 because that's not acid nor base

[elliotmotoX]

@filip3220 like 7.4

[kieran285]

test your pool once a week?

in the leisure centre i work in we test it 5 times a day

[seephor]

do you really expect a home owner to test their pool 5 times a day? Get real.

[kieran285]

did i say that the person who owns the pool should test it 5 times a day? no!

i said in our centre we test it 5 times a day...

if i had a pool in my house id test it every other day...

[gioluque]

now i got this! step1 sun resistant clorine tablets as sanitizer.step 2 shock. step 3 algaecide which i used amonia? not sure if works! please answer this!. step 4 PH & alkalinity levels, sodium carbonate to + and muriatic to decrease level...step5 calcium dont have an alternative cheap option!...please recomend me!...finally drain and refill in case of acumulated quemicals...skim brush and vacumm with filtering and proper circulation to void algae and loose in properties of water! ami right? =/

[gioluque]

water hardness...is that because the water needs to circulate after shock and clorine and all that...is that because i have to let it disolve before resulting in milky water?...the basic is that, and skimm,brush and vacumm right?...

[gioluque]

i used amonia as an algaecide...the balance solution i think is bull shit....then sanitize with sun resistant clorine tablets... then shock..then algaecide which i used amonia because of prices....then PH, im kind of lost, is PH same as Alkalinity? i heard to increase PH is bicarbonate sodium and to decrease is bisulfate sodium but not muriatic...then scale sol i think is bullshit too...then drain for new water in case of having many other quemicals acumulated in pool ascalciumwhat aboutcacium?

[cutiecourt83]

Awesome! Totally answered some questions I had! Thanks!!
