When I first got my pool I got this advice from Leslie lol and never had dirty pool water. I had an automatic chlorinator and would add non chlorine shock after every rainstorm. I never had a problem. These guys are the best.
As I understand, if you use Fresh and Clear (Potassium Monopersulfate) testing will have an "interference" and your readings of Total Chlorine will be off. The question I have not been able to find an answer to is how long that interference last. While you can use Taylor's 0867 drops to the test, I am still curious on how long after a Fresh and Clear shock you need to use it when testing.
People are hesitant to have pool stores check water balance. # 1 I over heard the manager pressing the point to sell product to meet quotas. Chemicals are way too high.
So sorry for the late reply! We've asked one of our pool and spa experts and here's what he said: "It's best to add about one cap full of Fresh 'N Clear before using the spa, waiting about 15 minutes for it to circulate. Then once done using the spa, add one cap full again letting it circulate for another 15 minutes. Just leave it uncovered for 15 minutes after using the spa."
Leslie's Pool Care thank you for your response I just need one more thing. How much is a cap full? I don’t buy the small bottle I have he highe 25 lbs bucket
Joseph is correct! One way to help avoid green hair is to rinse it prior to getting into the pool. Hair is porous, so rinsing it ahead of time will avoid over-saturation from the pool water. To help remove green from hair, a baking soda paste works well. In a bowl take a 1/4 to 1/2 cup of baking soda and mix enough water to form a paste. Coat the affected har with the paste and massage throughout the hair. Then, rinse with clean water and shampoo/conditioner as normal once all baking soda is rinsed out. Depending on how green your hair is, you may have to repeat the process a few times. Happy swimming!
I remember the good old days when a couple of scoops of HTH granular one a week was all you needed. And maybe a half gallon of acid twice a year. There were no such things as test kits.
The advice is good, and you need the chemicals to keep a clean pool... they happen to be a supplier for those and if you don't want to buy what you NEED from them get them from somewhere else. Your comment is a bit stupid, maybe you get your pool chemistry advice from your Starbucks sensitivity training rep?
Idiot who doesn't understand how the REAL world works. LOL! Yes, the world's largest swimming pool retailer is going to produce FREE advice videos for you to watch on CZcams and then recommend products they don't sell. Also, how are they "overpriced"? In this video, for example, they are talking about the benefits of Non-Chlorine Shock which is a HUGE money saver when used properly. I defy you to find a cheaper retail priced Non-Chlorine shock than Fresh -N- Clear.
It iant overpriced, i been buying shocks for my pool at almost the same price lealiea sells it in other stores, difference? Yes the leslies concentration is higer than the other shops ones and thats not overpricing. The problem is we all not pool experts and waste lot of money trying to play the chemical smarty dude. But thats how they made their money haha
I ALWAYS used non chlorine shock and trichlor 3" tablets in my automatic chlorinator. In the years I had my very large oval pool, I never once had cloudy, smelly or algae bloom. I tested my water weekly and the only other thing I had to do periodically was adjust the pH and ALK. My free and total chlorine was on the money. People wouldn't believe my pools chemistry. It was always like jumping into a freshly filled pool.

I would listen to these guys if they had a podcast

I use Leslie’s oxidizing shock. Am I supposed to leave it uncovered while it works? If so how long should I leave it uncovered? 600 gallons spa.

Great question! You would use 2 tablespoons.
My wife's hair turns green what should I do
That means you have a high level of hard metals in your water
@@RiddlesDNinja oh ok thanks for answering, for some reason I thought it was to much chlorine.

I'm never getting in your pool bub. Don't downplay the responsibility of owning a pool. Hope no one gets sick.
That's like saying, "I remember the good old days when doctors used leeches when you had a fever instead of modern day medicine."
I am a aquatic engineer i have more experience
so you are really just selling your overpriced products ... got it.
Jennifer Thibodeau of course. They’re a company. And you get what you pay for with pools.
