What if you go swimming in a pool with chlorine?
Your hair relly badly frizzes up!!
How long wait chlorine in pool?
I'm not sure what you mean. If your qeustion is how long do you have to wait to swim after adding chlorine, it really depends. If you're adding chlorine to bring the level up to 2.0 or 3.0ppm, then wait minimum 1 hour before swimming, and be sure the filter is on. If you're shocking the pool and bringing the level up to 10-12ppm, you need to wait until the pool reaches a safe level as stated above.
Why is it better to add chlorine to a swimming pool at night?
Because sunlight breaks down the chlorine. If you add it in the morning and the sun breaks it down, you may end up with little or no chlorine in your pool by late afternoon. If that happens you will have very little defense against algae all evening and night, until the next morning. If you add your chlorine in the evening then your pool is protected all evening and night, and the sun doesn't start working on it until morning. If the chlorine is low or gone by late afternoon and you dose the pool again in the evening, there is very little time when your pool is unprotected!
How do you lower the combined chlorine level?
Actually you add more chlorine, I would recommend 12 1/2% liquid. You need to reach the breakthrough superchlorination point to oxidize the contaminants creating the chloramine or combined chlorine. You can also use potassium monopersulfate which is a non-chlorine oxidizer and will allow you to use the pool sooner as it will only free up the chlorine already in the pool. Depending on several factors you may need to add some chlorine after using the PMS.
What if your total chlorine is high and your free chlorine is low?
You need to shock the pool. The difference between Total Chlorine and Free Chlorine is tied up and it will be cleared by shocking. Thatis the purpose of shocking.
You cannot get the salt level to come up in your swimming pool and the chlorine generator will not produce chlorine?

Does a dog swimming in the pool reduce the pool's chlorine level?
Any one or thing swimming in the pool will reduce the amount of free chlorine available in the swimming pool. Dog hair body fats and other impurity's will take up free chlorine in the pool thereby reducing the amount of effective chlorine available. Dogs bring into the pool more contaminants than do humans for AA lot of various reasons.

Can crabs be picked up in a swimming pool?
No. Avoid picking up swimming pool crabs at any cost. The pinchers will pierce your flesh, causing chlorine from the pool to enter your blood stream. Once you are paralyzed, the pool crabs will devour you. Beware.
What is free chlorine in a pool?
Free Chlorine is the Chlorine which is free to do its work in the pool, as opposed to Combined Chlorine which is chlorine that has combined with contaminants and is tied up and ineffective as a sanitizer in the pool. Sometimes you will see it abbreviated as FAC, which stands for Free Available Chlorine.
Is pool water chemistry safe for swimming if the water is clear?
Not necessarily. If pool water has recently been shocked, the chlorine level may be too high to swim even if the water is clear. Shocking can result in 10 ppm or more of chlorine. The EPA deems up to 4 ppm as safe. Swimming occasionally in a highly chlorinated pool may not be an issue for adults. But excessive chlorine has been known to trigger asthma attacks in children. Also, you should rinse or bathe immediately after swimming to avoid irritated skin from the excess chlorine. A general rule for applying all chemicals to a pool is to wait a minimum of 3 hours before swimming. That gives the chemicals time to dilute and be distributed evenly in the pool. The exception to that rule is high chlorine, which is described above.
What is green staining on swimming pool walls?
Drain your pool, then scrub the walls and floor with pool cleaner.
Can you use regular chlorine in a swimming pool?
yes, but it takes many gallons of clorox A: Clorox is only 5%. You would have to use 5 to10 as much of it then swimming pool liq. chlorine at 12.5%. The answer would be NO. You would end up using algaecides and other products in order to maintain the water. It could get quite costly for you.
Is it safe for a snake to go swimming in a swimming pool?
Here is the deal. a "salt water pool" IS a chlorine pool. Only difference is, on a chlorine pool u add chlorine. In a salt pool u add salt and a "Salt Generator" turns the sslt into chlorine... so really both pools use chlorine.... Just saves u the trouble of messing with chlorine and chlorine shocks..
