Chlorine or non chlorine shocks are in a powdered form just open the bag and pour it into the pool.
Chemicals needed to open swimming pool.
Calcium is not as.
And ideal ph levels range from 7 2 to 7 6.
They coagulate the cloudy water particles into masses that.
As a reference point for every 10 000 gallons of water 6 ounces of sodium carbonate soda ash increases ph by 2.
Chlorine is the most widely.
Ph increaser soda ash good ph helps your chlorine work better and last longer.
It also affects how corrosive neutral or scale forming your water is.
So before you even think about adding any adjustment chemicals to the water we suggest the following 3 items to add when opening a swimming pool.

Cal hypo pool shock is used to quickly sanitize pool water boost chlorine levels and kill algae.

Intex pool start up chemicals.
Stain and scale this product helps prevent any scale rust and other metallic stains in water and on pool surfaces.
Shock the pool with chlorine adding approximately one gallon of shock for every 5 500 gallons of water.
As usual start by balancing ph alkalinity and calcium hardness levels to the chart above.
A calcium hardness booster is ideally needed to help get your pool water to the ideal levels.
Oxidizers are the secondary sanitizer used every few weeks to kill algae and bacteria.
Pool startup chemicals for any pool type include.
Step 1 water balance first.
