Hello fellow DR-freaks,
Well, I have been studying pool maintenance, chemistry and sand filters for the past month or so and I'm shocked that stores don't seem to sell shock here? Basically non-stabilized chlorine.
The idea is that once in a while for good measure or if you have an algae problem you throw in a bunch of chlorine at night which kills everything. Then the sun comes out and burns it off. Heavier particules can be vacuumed to waste.
They have algaecide which includes copper based products, flocking sulfate, and regular stabilized chlorine in granules. I tried grinding the granules but they are tough and slow to dissolve. Then, we are left with high chlorine levels for the next couple of days...
Anyway, some guys recommend using algaecide weekly, others fight it with chlorine, flock then vacuum to waste (reduce chlorine).
Should I order shock online? Are there stores that carry more products? How do you do it?
Thanks a bunch.
