I really appreciate that you’ve made this channel, I gave up on my pool a few years ago because i couldn’t get it right. After watching your videos I feel that I can confidently get my pool going again this summer.

[christophernixon]

have watched several of your videos and have subscribed. You provide the best information on maintaining a pool that I have found. Thanks!

Just bought a house in Maryland with a diving pool. Your videos are great man thank you!

[tammyliscio]

So appreciate the information. We have an 18x48 soft sided pool. Just got it so I’m learning.

[davidmoreno]

Very informative. Thanks for the info. I found that fory 6000g pool, I need 2 tablets a week and shock 1 lb bag weekly here in S.Texas.

You described my exact issue at 13:50 (low chlorine because tablets were out). Followed your instructions and immediate added tablet and some liquid chlorine. Worked perfectly. Thank you.

With these extremely hot and sunny days we're having in Texas the liquid sanitizer brings those levels right up but quickly dissapates because it's unstablized. I just put in an off line chlorinater and its night and day to my old inline one. It sucks, really. I guess I'll use the floaty as a backup in my playpool.
Thanks again, glad I found your channel.🤙

Copper Ion Pool... No tablets required at all. 10 years and loving it

I have found that the 12.5% liquid chlorine bought from a pool supply store, although more expensive is a lot more effective than the 10% liquid chlorine bought at a big box store.

[marcos_cruz]

Would you recommend leaving the pool float in the pool while people are in the pool? Or take the floater out while pool is in use? Thanks! Great content!

What do you think about an in-ground chlorine dispenser

[shoeshoe]

Thank you so much for this video, I maintain the pool myself and I don't consider myself a good pool technician but I try, recently my salt cell exploded so I'm now learning how to use liquid chlorine but I'm using it like crazy I live in Southern California so it's like I'm pouring it constantly and constantly checking the water, so I'm going to try these tablets and see if that is easier I also have a standard poodle who's when she sees things bobbing in the pool she jumps in so I'm trying to figure out how to work around that, I know I'm not supposed to put these tablets in the skimmer but I'm hoping I can make the pool tablet container as unattractive as possible to her so she'll leave it alone.

Thank you! I happy to know this information

Good video! Something to be mindful of: Many tablets (perhaps most, but I'm not 100% sure of that) are not just chlorine, but also contain Cyanuric Acid, also called "stabilizer". It is a good thing to have the right level of stabilizer in your pool, as it will help maintain chlorine levels, especially if you are in a very sunny location, where the sun tends to break down the chlorine. HOWEVER - it is possible to have too much CYA, which can lead to high CYA levels, high free chlorine levels and STILL have green algae forming. The chlorine becomes less effective in controlling algae when CYA is too high. What I do (may or may not be right for you) is I use tablets sparingly, and I maintain the chlorine level using liquid chlorine. I test the water, and if CYA levels start increasing above 50-80ppm I remove the floating chlorinator for a few days. Different pools, in different locations will have different maintenance requirements, so one technique will not fit every use case. My point is, just be aware you can have too much CYA, and it will cause issues with the disinfecting properties of your chlorine - So always test and adjust. My pool worries have decreased dramatically since I started using liquid chlorine.

[AMPMReviews]

do you ever use NST tablets since I am tired of the trichlor building up my CYA levels every year.

Is there a surface leaf collecting device for fall season verses manuely using a net

[stevepataska]

Interesting… our pool builders told us to just always keep a 3” in the skimmer during on season…

[richp]

So if you have an inline chlorinator and your using these tablets you will bump up your cya pretty fast right...they are 50% chlorine and 50% cya

Could you possibly tell me if HTH super algae guard 4 in 1 kills phosphates? Or does polyquat 60 by proteam?
