I'm going to study this as I need to really master my chemistry as ....ok this is low.....so why...... look at the chemistry not just blindly dump chemicals in and hope for the best. I can stay on top of this so do it. Thank you so much

13000 gallon fiberglass, variable speed pump, cartridge filter, chlorine sanitized ,k-2006, also daily 5 item check ( ch, ph,ta,)
I only trust the k-2006 titration is better for me
Re: di chlor question
I'm updating the table to improve formatting and to add columns on the effects on pH and TA after accounting for chlorine usage/consumption:
Type of Chlorine . FC CYA CH . pH . TA . Salt .. Typical Dosage per 10,000 gallons per FC
Trichlor ................ 10 . 6 ... 0 ... -- .. -7 ..... 8 .... 14.6 oz. (109 grams)
Dichlor ................. 10 . 9 ... 0 ... - . -3.5 .... 8 .... 24.1 oz. (181 grams)
.................................................. ..................... for Dichlor Dihydrate
Calcium ............... 10 . 0 .. 7-8 .. 0 ... 0 . 10-12 . 20.7 oz. (155 grams)
Hypochlorite .................................................. .. for Cal-Hypo 65%
Sodium ................ 10 . 0 ... 0 ... 0 ... 0 .... 17 ... 102 fluid oz. (800 ml)
Hypochlorite .................................................. .. for 12.5% (trade) chlorinating liquid
Lithium ................ 10 . 0 ... 0 ... 0 ... 0 .... 17 ... 38.3 oz. (286 grams)
Hypochlorite
Chlorine Gas ......... 10 . 0 ... 0 .. --- . -14 ... 8 .... 13.4 oz. (100 grams)
Saltwater Chlorine . 10 . 0 ... 0 ... 0 ... 0 ..... 0 .... N/A
Generator
I show the hypochlorite sources of chlorine as being pH neutral, but they do have a small amount of excess lye (or equivalent) in them so slightly raise the pH, but the main source of pH rise in pools using these chlorine sources is outgassing of carbon dioxide.
15.5'x32' rectangle 16K gal IG concrete pool; 12.5% chlorinating liquid by hand; Jandy CL340 cartridge filter; Pentair Intelliflo VF pump; 8hrs; Taylor K-2006 and TFTestkits TF-100; utility water; summer: automatic; winter: automatic; ; PF:7.5

all typed and entered in my Pool Care binder. Thanks much

Re: di chlor question
Chem_Geek's very helpful table, in a little different form:
Re: di chlor question
Is there a way this can be made available out in the open for everyone....like before you ask...CHECK THIS OUT!! This is super great! looks like bleach and cal hypo are the non invasive way to go for just raising chlorine other than salt

Re: di chlor question
Yeah, I've saved it for use elsewhere. There are 2 other calcs I've asked Chem_Geek about, though.
