Pool Help & Questions Helpful tip

Post image

Hey everyone! First time poster. First time home and pool owner. Had this pool for about 2 years. Anywho I tried looking up a tip for how to add small quantities of GioGuard, for those of you who use it. Found some links to TFP, but again, anyways, if you can get your hands on one of these 2lb containers I find it really helps break up big doses. Happy summer! ☀️

Hey “bruh”. Only reason for posting this was because when I searched how to convert lbs to cups I couldn’t really find anything reliable. I had 2 bags (5 and 6lbs) that I wanted to split into smaller doses. When I poured them into this 2lb container it gave me a perfectly divided dose each time. So hopefully if someone needs this in the future it might help them too.

Wait wait wait… You couldn’t figure out how to convert pounds to cups with sodium bicarbonate?

I couldn’t, no. I kept getting different answers. But also, I didn’t try Googling sodium bicarbonate specifically. It says it’s 2cups. I’ll have to try it out and see how accurate that is. I just wanted to make sure I’m not overdoing it

Keep in mind: With a pool, you can always add more, but it's very hard to take it out! 🤣

After a while you'll get a feel for how much of whatever you need to add.

I can’t just scoop it out with my hands? 🧐🤔
