Hello Guys,
We bought a house having swimming pool (first time we have pool) and we were away on vacation for couple of weeks.
Pool turned green, tested water with local pool shop (swimart) and based on test we were given below items to add and their store rep mentioned how much to add as well. After 4 days we tested water again and now all good.
Chlorine Concentrate - 10kg - $125

Just add 3kg to start with.
Alkalinity Increaser - 10kg - $42

Add whole
Liquid pH Decreaser (Liquid Acid) - 5L - $17
Add 750 ML (diluted 1:10 proportion with tap water)
3KG sunscreen - $51

Add whole
Hardness Increaser - 4kg - $30
http://www.swimart.com.au/pool-supplies ... -increaser
Add whole
As a general routine maintenance rule store rep said we need to :
- Once in every 2 days : add 300gms of Chlorine Concentrate
- Once in a Week : add 750 ML Liquid pH Decreaser (Liquid Acid) -
- Once in every 6months : Alkalinity Increaser - 10kg
- Once in every 12 months : 3KG sunscreen
From where do you guys buy these chemicals?
Looks like local pool shop (swimart) is too expensive.
Please share your routine maintenance too along with which chemical you buy from where etc.
Anna and Glen
