We're really looking for a product that will make the pool easier to maintain and cheaper. One year we spent hundreds of dollars and still had a green pool for 3 weeks!  |
You shouldn't have to drain the pool to switch over. Your pool supplier can tell you what to superchlorinate at initially. If there is any algae, it will die off and float or sink and be filtered out. you may need to backwash your pool filters daily or several times a day if there is a large algae die-off. Gas chlorine comes in 150 lb. cylinders and is used in larger pools. They make a convenient hockey puck sized stabilized chlorine product that works great in residential pools. once you get the hang of it, it is actually kind of fun monkeying with the testing and maintenance. If you have a white pool, the water should be a crystal clear blue. Green pool equals trouble.
