How often should you shock your pool?




rebeccasta


How often do you shock your pool? The pool company said if you have a large amount of poeple swimming to do it once a week, however it's just my husband and I who swims in it and with our schedules it's hardly ever at the same time. Should we be shocking that often. We have a 16 by 32 inground pool and it has one of those automatic cholorine feeder in it where you put the pucks in. I was told that too much chlorine will ruin the liner. We are replacing our liner in a couple weeks because the corners of the liner were ripping away from the pool. Just wondered since we have the automatic chlorine feeders and it's just my husband and I swimming in it how often we should shock it.


Answer
I have operated commercial pools for ten years,i shock at ten ppm.once in the spring and once in the fall. The only time their has been an issue is when i go on vacation.Then the pool is neglected and i get alge or cloudy water. there is a company called taylor technologies.they make a test kit no.k-2005. This kit has a booklet explaining water chemistry,and tables to treat your pool.Its not that hard at all. If you keep your chlorine at 2-3 parts per million. Problems arise when people neglect their pool,if bacteria is allowed to grow then you do need to shock. If you do your home work pools are easy.Keep the filter clean the chlorine good and the water ballanced and you will have no issues. Sometimes i think pool suppliers want to sell lots of chemicals.I have answered pool questions before and got beat out by a cleaver sounding answers that were not correct. I'm not sure if i can do this,my e-mail is yaket2003 @yahoo.com. If you have a question ask.I stand by this answer100% With that said without an accident or special event you shouldn't need to shock more than twice a year.The need to shock arises when the dead chlorine over powers the good this is explained in the book. You can test to determine this,many home pools are neglected,I believe thats why people shock so much.

how much does an inground pool cost?

medium size


Answer
Medium size would be an 18 x 36. Costs of construction can vary enormously. Expect that size pool to start at about 18,000 canadian dollars for a vinyl inground. A concrete (gunite) pool would be about 28 grand to start.
Extra costs can be incurred if the access to the dig is difficult, material has to be trucked father away to dump, if the area the dig is in is in a high water table or is very rocky.. The toys you want with the pool, like water falls or adjacent hot tubs. The pool equipment packages can vary from basic to hi tech advanced remote wall unit controls in the house for heat, automatic pool cleaner controls and even one touch and forget, timed pool fill valves.
