If Trichlor Sanitizer is Used in a
Vinyl Lined Pool:
DO NOT allow the pH of the pool to drop below
7.4. **Range 7.4-7.8.
DO NOT allow chlorine levels to exceed 3 ppm
using Trichlor sanitizer.
DO NOT shock or super chlorinate your vinyl lined
pool with Trichlor. Alkaline sanitizers (hypochlorite
products) should be used.
DO NOT continuously heat your vinyl lined pool to
temperatures above 82 degrees Fahrenheit. Hot water will
dissolve Trichlor sanitizer at a faster rate making the
water very aggressive to the vinyl liner.
DO NOT allow true total carbonate alkalinity to
drop below 90 ppm when acidic Trichlor is used as the
sanitizing agent. Alkalinity range 90-125 ppm.
DO NOT forget to correct for cyanuric acid level
when measuring true total alkalinity. True total
alkalinity equals measured total alkalinity minus one
third measured cyanuric acid level.
Failure to limit and control cyanuric acid level
could result in the following:
low alkalinity
pH drop or bounce when Trichlor is added
increased chlorine demand (more Trichlor is
needed)
aggressive water
bleached and/or wrinkled vinyl liner
DO NOT add trichlor to a floating dispenser and
ALWAYS continuously run the water circulation
system 24 hours a day during the pool season when
Trichlor is used.
It should be understood that the absorbtion of water
is a function of the PVC. However, the absorbtion will
not take place with proper care. It should also be
understood that the affects of the chemicals on the
vinyl are cumulative and irreversible.
Remember: less is best when adding chemicals to your
vinyl liner pool.
