No, you should not use pool chlorine tablets in your toilet. Pool tablets contain trichlor which is too concentrated for toilets and can damage plumbing, create toxic gases, and pose serious health risks.
Inground pool liners typically last 10-15 years with proper care, though high-quality vinyl liners can extend to 20 years. Lifespan depends on water chemistry balance, sun exposure, and maintenance practices.
Yes, most pool covers can be repaired depending on the type of damage and cover material. Small tears, broken grommets, and worn straps are commonly repairable using patch kits, vinyl cement, or replacement hardware.
No, you should not use pool chlorine in your washing machine. Pool chlorine is much more concentrated than household bleach and can damage your washing machine, clothes, and create dangerous chemical reactions.
While pool chlorine can technically clean some household surfaces, it's not recommended due to safety risks and potential damage. Household bleach or specialized cleaners are safer alternatives.
Yes, you can clean pool filters with diluted household bleach (1 part bleach to 10 parts water), but avoid bleach on DE filters and always rinse thoroughly afterward to prevent equipment damage.
Yes, you can clean above ground pools with unscented liquid household bleach (5.25-6% sodium hypochlorite), but liquid pool chlorine is more cost-effective and easier to dose.
You can vacuum pool table felt, but only with specific techniques and equipment. Use a brush attachment on low suction, vacuum against the nap direction, and avoid rotating brushes to prevent damage.
Yes, pool cartridge filters can and should be cleaned regularly. Clean them every 2-4 weeks by removing debris, rinsing with a hose at 45-degree angle, and rotating between multiple sets for optimal performance.
Yes, you can clean your pool liner with bleach, but only when properly diluted (1:10 ratio with water) and never use concentrated bleach directly on the liner as it can cause permanent damage.
Pool cartridge filters typically last 2-4 weeks before needing replacement, though this varies based on pool usage, bather load, and water conditions. Clean filters every 1-2 weeks to extend their lifespan.
You can store pool chemicals in a deck box, but only with proper ventilation, temperature control, and separation of incompatible chemicals. Most deck boxes aren't ideal without modifications.
