When to Add Chlorine to Pool?

Ideally, this should be added after swimming or in the evening to ensure that the product can spread well throughout the pool. Also make sure the water is filtered after you have added the chlorine.

Can I just add chlorine to my pool?

The procedure for adding granular chlorine is pretty much the same as adding calcium chloride or sodium bicarb to a pool. Measure the dry chemical, pre-dissolve in a bucket, and pour around the perimeter of the pool (never into the skimmer directly). There are a few types of dry, granular chlorine.

Should I shock my pool before adding chlorine?

Chlorine has a low pH level, and in order to maintain your pool water's clarity and balance, shocking weekly will allow you to quickly raise the chlorine level, which will rid the pool of contaminants, without lowering the water's pH levels.
