[QUOTE=CToon]to change the calculator to Gallons go to More Calcs in upper left , go to settings ,click imperial (its u.s gallons ) you can also put in pool volume and bleach values.. save and close

You should know --- an Imperial Gallon =1.20095 US Gallon ---- THEY ARE NOT THE SAME!!!!

Jim, I recommend that you not add bleach directly to the skimmer. When you do, relatively undiluted bleach can reach your inline chlorinator and have disasterous results (like an exploding chlorinator). I understand that this can happen even if you empty the chlorinator of pucks and is probably likely if you don't empty it.

On your pump run times, you're probably better off to split your pump runs into two or even three different segments instead of one big twelve hour stint.

Won't pouring straight Clorox into the pool and onto the vinyl liner bleach the color out of the vinyl faster.

Jim,
You can just dribble it a little bit at a time into the water while moving around the pool to make sure the bleach is diluted as you add it. Alternatively, you can pour it very slowly into a return stream which will dilute and distribute it pretty quickly.

I would have let this slide and had this thread continue on with helping Jim , but since you have chosen to point me out and YELL at me what an Imperial GALLON is , my good sense is just going to take a back seat on this one and so be the consequences...

I KNOW WHAT AN IMPERIAL GALLON IS !!!!!!!

I was pointing it out specifically because the program says imperial , however uses U.S gallons for the computations. thank you very much

In case you didnt know before this , CAPS are considered yelling on internet forums . And in almost all circumstances considered in poor taste and/or known to raise the ire of the person you direct it at. So the next time you feel the need to impart your wisdom upon me by yelling it at me , do me a favor and just move along quietly
