Blue Horizons Chlorine Reducer - Tub of 1Kg

Product Information

Use 1kg of Chlorine Reducer per 45,500 litres (10,000 gallons) of pool water to lower the chlorine level by 3ppm. This Chlorine Reducer is a crystal additive that can be used to lower the chlorine/bromine level where overdosing has occurred. Reason for Testing: Calcium hardness is usually a problem for tiled pools in soft water areas. This is due to there not being enough calcium in the water so it will dissolve the calcium in the grout making it soft. In general this is not a problem in hard water areas as the water contains sufficient calcium. So, if you’re starting with completely clean unchlorinated water, then you can set the dosing calculator to a ppm within that range, enter how many litres of water are in your pool, and our calculator will tell you the required amount of stabilised chlorine granules to add. User tip: to increase the free chlorine by 1ppm (parts per million), add 100 grams per 10,000 gallons. What are stabilised chlorine tablets?

Let’s finish up with some practical tips on how to prevent your chlorine level running away from you in future.

Do not pour this product into a pool skimmer basket containing chlorine tablets or any other product. Bromine is an alternative swimming pool sanitiser chemical to chlorine. Bromine offers a number of benefits for maintaining pool water, acting as a sanitiser, oxidiser and algaecide for your pool. While chlorine is the more common choice among pool owners, bromine is the chemical of preference for spa and hot-tub owners due to its superior effectiveness in warmer temperatures. Using a brominator and BCDMH sanitiser (bromine tablets) There are two forms of flocculant you can use on your pool: Granular flocculant (aluminium sulphate) IMPORTANT:Please note when using any of the dosing calculators that they are only a guide. Swimmingpoolchemicals accepts no responsibility for any damage. With that predicament in mind, it’s important to make sure the alkalinity level of your pool is correct before any pH alterations are carried out. After the correct alkalinity level is established, test the pH level of the water. If the pH level needs increasing further, add sodium carbonate (pH plus)and, if it needs decreasing, add sodium bisulphate (pH minus).

Apply each smaller dose, allowing time to thoroughly circulate (2-3 hours for commercial pools/6-8 hours for domestic pools) before re-testing chlorine/bromine level and if necessary adding further doses There are two types of chlorine available to use as sanitisers. These are stabilised and unstabilised chlorine. Stabilised chlorine Without use, most pools naturally lose free chlorine at an average daily rate of around 2 to 3 ppm, though this is influenced by things like water temperature, UV exposure, and the cyanuric acid level. The easiest way to go about introducing more contaminants to your pool is to go for a swim. Natural body oils like sweat and saliva have a measurable impact on your chlorine level, especially if you can get more bodies involved.

Use a chlorine neutralizer to lower chlorine levels without replacing any water. Chlorine neutralizer, also called sodium thiosulfate, is a compound that lowers chlorine levels when it’s added to pool and hot tub water. Just add the crystals to your hot tub water according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Then, run the jets for a few minutes to circulate the neutralizer, and retest the water to see if the chlorine levels are still too high. [11] X Research source As a general rule, 2 litres of swimming pool dechlorinator per 10,000 gallons of pool water will reduce the chlorine level by 5ppm. Our most popular algae treatment, polyquat algaecide,is absorbed by organic debris such as leaves and dead algae, so it‘s important to clean the pool thoroughly with a brush or vacuum cleaner before starting the chemical treatment. As promised, let’s break down the best ways to reduce your chlorine level: 1. Wait for It to Drop Naturally Brush regularly, especially the pool walls and deep end, to prevent invisible algae colonies from forming.

Following this, you can use the chlorine dosing calculators to work out the required chemical dose to increase the amount of chlorine in the water. A partial drain and refill might not be too much hassle if you’re correcting slightly over-chlorinated water, but if it’s only slight, you’re almost always going to be better off just waiting it out. An elevated chlorine level isn’t usually a serious problem, but it can lead to some complications with the balance of your water. It also makes for a less enjoyable swim. When it comes to the chemicals required to keep your pool healthy, there’s a long list of must-haves and optional extras that you need to know about. At swimmingpoolchemicals.co.uk, we offer an all-encompassing range of pool chemicals to see you through every season and every eventuality.

As we’ve just established, the alkalinity level in your pool influences the pH level of water, so it’s vital that the alkalinity level is kept within the range of 80-160ppm to help keep the pH of your water correct. As such, reducing or increasing the alkalinity of your pool as per your requirements represents a vital part of maintaining pool water. How to reduce alkalinity in a pool Over-Chlorinated / Bromine spa water can be harmful to health. Chlorine Reducer is a fast way to lower the chlorine level to a safe limit for spa use. This is exactly what it sounds like; a chemical that reacts with chlorine, breaking it down and effectively rendering it useless. What’s more, commonly used neutralizers work in as little as a few hours.
