New pool chlorine questions

[donfranko]

I was also talked into buying a Nature 2 from my builder. It is just another way for them to make money if you use them to open your pool. I asked a similar question last year. Replies were that Nature 2 did so little switching to bleach and store chems was not a problem. It adds a negligible amt of copper if any. I switched and no problems. I also removed the cartridge a few weeks later which is probably your best bet.

Now if I can just figure how to re-plumb the pipes and can remove the canister and sell it on e-bay!

Thank you
I will put some bleach in and remove the N2 cartridge and i will post as soon as I get CYA #s
the installer added some when he opened it so there may be some in there

Thanks again

And to answer your question the water looks great
but it is still really cold

There are smart sticks in the skimmer but they are dissolving really really slowly

maybe because of the temperature thanks

Hi, Kevin,

I saw your new thread you started. It's helpful to stay with the original thread so folks can follow your progress better.

Okay, 0 CYA means you need some . I'd recommend putting in enough to get to 30ppm...5 or 6 lbs should do it. Do not expect it to show up on a test for 4-7 days. Put it in as soon as you can.

That 4 gallons of bleach will "shock" your pool and probably disappear the next day. After that, I'd bring my Cl level up to about 3-5ppm each evening. That level will start to hold as your CYA kicks in. After that, you're good to go. (especially if you "kick out" that cartridge!! )
