Steve hold on there. Why are you using liquid chlorine in your pool? Liquid
chlorine is not very strong and you are adding alot of salt (one pound per
gallon) to the pool. Use Sodium Dichlor instead, it is stabilized (cyanuric
acid in it) it is five times stronger and you can use it for chlorination
and shock. If the shock you purchased was Calcium Hypochlorite it is not
stabilized and will dissipate quickly as it should. Besides you should not
be using that in your pool it will damage the liner. Add conditioner at a
rate of 2.5 pounds per 10K water for a level of 30ppm to start the pool but
after that you should not need to add any if you use stabilized chlorine.

No Steve I mean (Liquid Chlorine). It is hardly better than household
bleach. Dichlor is chlorine. Liquid Chlorine is called Sodium Hypochlorite
it is about 12-13% available chlorine and has a lot of inert ingredients such
as salt in it, Sodium Dichlor or Dichlor is about 50-55% available chlorine.
More chlorine not as much of the inert ingredients and it is in granular
form. Liquid chlorine also may loose strenght depending on how long it sits
before it is sold. Dichlor will not just keep it dry. The liquid chlorine
is sold primarily as shock anyway and I do not recomend you use it for normal
chlorination. It is popular because it is cheap and will not cloud your pool
and that is why the pool service guys love it.

Tablets are good for normal chlorination but they can be hazardous to your
liner. Tablets are very concentrated 90% available chlorine and can damage
your liner if they came in contact with it. If you use a floater keep the
floater away from the liner.
