Frank and Jacque talk about how you can save money on your chlorine costs this year.

00:00 introduction

05:30 Ways to save money on chlorine costs when managing your pool. Frank estimates about 30% of pool chemicals used on swimming pools are wasted. The factors contributing to waste include choosing the wrong chemical, improper testing, and incorrect dosing, both over and under.

07:30 Improper or inadequate pool and filter maintenance will greatly increase the amount of chlorine and balancers required to maintain a swimming pool properly.

09:15 Adding chlorine can also affect your balancers. This varies with the type of chlorine you use. There is a ripple effect on balancer cost resulting from using more chlorine. For example, chlorine tabs have a pH of around 3.0; they are what you use more.
