12 x 30 pool - Super Easy questions

[gabrieldaigle]

I too have had sections of the bottom of my pool get bleached by dichlor. Will start with the bucket tonight so the bottom doesn't get any worse.

The good news is I started adding dichlor last evening. pH has become more stubborn (before I got the dichlor, actually)... it wants to hover around 7.0. So not terrible -and I think I am going to conquer that.

Anyway - my real issue is that the dichlor seemed to bleach the bottom of the liner where I dropped it in last night. I wasnt running the pump. SO I am probably a dummy all together. Should I be mixxing it with a bucket first - or just spreading it evenly as much as I can?

Thanks!

OK. I'll add 'mix before using' notes to the SSR.

@gabrieldaigle: Do you know how much you added at one time? Was your pump running at the time?

Ben,

I never put more than a half cup of Dichlor and usually spread it throughout the pool. It has led to bleach spots in multiple areas of the pool. Also I always have the pump running whenever I put any chemicals in the pool.
