pool help, chlorine puck in or under skimmer?
Taking care of a friend’s pool, and I have chlorine pucks to put in the pool skimmer, but I’m not sure how to use them. I’m supposed to put them in the pool skimmer, but I don’t remember if they go in the pool skimmer basket or underneath it. I searched it online and most things I read were about putting the chlorine pucks into the skimmer basket.
I was hesitant about placing them into the basket bc I was afraid that it would make it heavy and not filter the water properly.
I’ve also read some things saying that chlorine pucks aren’t good, but this is a friend’s pool, and I was asked to use them, so plz just advice on how to use them. Thanks!!
Put the puck (tablet) IN the skimmer basket. There is a pipe opening just below the basket that could be blocked if the tablet shifted. The basket simply filters large things like leaves and bugs and an occasional mouse or rat and prevents those things from getting caught in the pipes. There are plenty of openings on the sides of the basket to allow more than an adequate flow of water.
There are those who contend that certain brands of tablets are chemically abrasive to the pipes in the pool. This is rarely true in pools that have metal pipes. However, it has been 40 years since a backyard pool has been built using metal pipes. Backyard pools have plastic pipes and they are not affected by the minor changes in the pool chemistry created by those brands of tablets.
In the mean time, as you said, it is your friend’s pool and they want you to do ‘it’ a certain way.
