My neighbors do not believe me on Chlorine

[azimmer1]

I just pour it into the pool but near the intake so it gets diluted and circulated quickly.

Richard,
How much of the dye did you add?

By the way, I love the scientific perspective you bring to the forum.

...if you pour chlorine into one spot it will only work on that area of the pool.

One would think that your neighbor could find out for himself with two glasses of water, a few drops of food coloring, and an aspirin...

You do realize that you are basically trying to teach a pig to sing, right?

Thanks. I used the recommended amount on the GLB Party Blue bottle -- 1 ounce per 10,000 gallons, so around 1.5 ounces for my 16,000 gallon pool.

Someone else on this thread mentioned using food coloring and that would probably work just as well though I don't know if it's as concentrated as the Party Blue stuff (it's REALLY concentrated). Either way, I'm sure the chlorine will break the coloring down, but please, don't take my word for it. I don't want someone to get "stuck" with color in their pool because they used food coloring.

Thanks Richard. I don't intend to color my pool, I was just curioius from a mixing of liquids perspective.
