Chlorine - Regular Use - by Backyard Fun Pools Lexington
The water that goes into your pool has its own characteristics. The surest way to determine its chemical makeup is to have your water analyzed by a pool supply company or your pool dealer. Normally, once your water is balanced the predominant chemical you will need to add to your water is stabilized chlorine.
Monthly chemical check by your pool professional is recommended. Follow the directions on the chlorine/bromine label but remember that the dosages are designed for plastered pools which have greater chlorine demand. An extra dose of chlorine called "super chlorination" or "shocking" is periodically required in some locations to maintain proper water chemistry. Once each two weeks in summer months is normal.
