What do you mean by highly chlorinated? If you mean the pool was just shocked, and the chlorine level is high, you may want to wait a few hours before swimming. If you mean it smells high in chlorine, it means the chlorine is combined. Combined chlorine is attached to the things it's meant to kill, such as urine, bacteria or body oils, etc. Free chlorine is chlorine ready to do it's job and doesn't smell heavy of chlorine. A public pool that smells heavy of chlorine is nastier than one that doesn't.

That's the definition of a public pool. It needs too much chlorine to burn off all the urine, spit, sweat, and other bodily fluids. They even make special chlorinators for public pools that can hold 20 chlorine tabs. That's 20 tabs in 1 week. Way too much.

Will turning up your salt water chlorinator kill algae?
Generally, yes, although you might need to shock the pool to kill the algae and then maintain a higher level of chlorine than you were (assuming the level of chlorination was too low). Also check the pool pH, and never swim in a pool that's excessively chlorinated.

Could your Yorkshire terrier get a rash from going in a chlorinated swimming pool?
Well it really depends on how long the dog was in it, how strong the chemicals were in the chlorinated pool. But if it was a regular swimming pool, and the dog was in there from 2-3 hours, in and out, i would say yes, it's possible the rash is caused because of that. Also if the pool has 76% or higher of high chemicals, that would be what have caused it too.
What happens to red hair when it is in chlorinated water?
== == == == I have natural light red hair and if i swim too often in chlorinated pools without using special shampoo after my hair will turn a tinge of green. Wetting your hair in normal water before hand helps too absorb so much chlorine, and using tomato sauce in your hair helps to get the colour green out if your hair changes colour. From what I can find out natural or dyed red hair is resistant to colour change in chlorinated water. However as chlorine is a bleaching agent the colour will fade if you swim a lot with unprotected hair.
