CHLORINE DEMAND

 

Chlorine Demand:

The inability to maintain a free chlorine residual

In the pool water.

 

---------------------------------------------------------

PROBLEM:
Continuous addition of free chlorine fails to rise

Sanitizer level in pool water.

Test kit reading shows low to no sanitizer level.

SOLUTION:
Make sure filter runs for a minimal of 10 hours per day,

Or 24 hours in hot weather and heavy bather loads.

Make certain test reagents are fresh and unspoiled.

Check for inadequate product levels in skimmer,

Floater or chlorinator.

Make sure chlorinator tubing is free from obstructions.

 

---------------------------------------------------------

PROBLEM:
Algae presence.

SOLUTION:
Algae growth will cause a drastic increase in chlorine

Consumption. If algae is present, use products such

As 60% Algaecide or Copper Base Algaecide.

Follow instructions on Label.

 

---------------------------------------------------------

PROBLEM: 
To high stabilizer/conditioner levels don’t

Create chlorine Demand.

But it keeps the chlorine from working properly

SOLUTION:

High levels of Cyanuric Acid can lock up the chlorine.

Lower the level of the cyanuric Acid.

The only way to do this is to lower your water,

Depending on how high the reading is.

And then refill with fresh water

 

---------------------------------------------------------

PROBLEM: 
Undetectable organic contamination,

Suntan Lotions, Sun Screen, Fertilizers, pollens,

Bird droppings and Leaves

SOLUTION: 
Much chlorine is required to overcome the

Pool’s demand.

 

This is what I recommend.

Follow the Manufactures instructions.
