Someone must have told you “chlorine tablets are your friend” at some point. While you may find chlorine tablets to be helpful with your pool maintenance, you need to make sure that you are not overdosing your North Georgia pool with too much cyanuric acid and other ingredients that are often in chlorine tablets. While you may not mean to hurt your pool, you could be doing some serious damage and causing the “mottling” that you’ve been complaining about.
Chlorine Tablets – Best Use

Instead of taking chlorine tablets over to your erosion feed or chlorinator and stacking it to the top, you want to go easy on the chlorine tablets. You can use liquid chlorine for your pool instead of chlorine tablets because with liquid chlorine, you are not going to get all of the additives that you are going to get if you keep using the chlorine tablets in such high dosages.
Make sure that you test your pool to see that the chemicals in the water are at a proper balance. Some pool owners put chemicals into their North Georgia pool without even knowing what is already going on. That would be like coming into the kitchen in the middle of cooking a cake and start putting the ingredients needed in from the beginning even though they were done halfway. You are going to end up with too much of the ingredients and end up messing up the cake.

Putting chlorine tablets into your pool is not going to give you the beautiful and sparkling pool that you want if that is all that you do. Of course, we all dream of having a pool that would rival or even outshine a resort pool, but that is going to take some work. If you are putting too many chlorine tablets and causing an overdose of different elements in your pool, you are going to damage your pool and won’t be able to experience the beauty of your pool for much longer. It is going to start looking dull and ugly.
Make sure that you keep a few different sizes of telescopic poles around so that you will be able to put different attachments on them to be able to clean your pool. You may need to put a net on the end of one or something to clean the bottom of your pool. Having the telescopic pools around is going to help you keep your pool looking pristine and clean.

Owning a pool can be work, but once you understand how to take care of your pool and know not to overload it with chlorine tablets, you may be surprised how easy it is to have your own pool. You will be able to enjoy yourself with your friends and family in your backyard instead of having to drive to the public pool or some swimming spot. Having your own pool also allows for an amazing entertaining spot. Speak with professionals that can help you with your goals.
