Add more chlorine.
More to it than that.
Test & if necessary correct the pH first - that's important.
Calculate correct dose rate of chlorine & add accordingly.
If it's an outdoor pool switch to stabilised chlorine if not already using it.

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.
What happens when you add chlorine to saltwater?
Sea water contains a low concentration of bromide ion which is oxidised to free bromine Br2 by chlorine.
How can you fix low chlorine?
Add more chlorine.
Does chlorine have a high boiling point?
No. Chlorine has a very low boiling point considering that it is a gas at room temperature.
How do you get chlorine in a salt water pool?
Normally the salt/chlorine generator creates the chlorine as the system is running. This is accomplished by the chlorine unit sending a low voltage charge of electricity into the water as it flows through the inline unit and makes contact with the fins inside. When this occurs a separation takes place of the salt(sodium chloride) and the chlorine is then free to sanitize the water. The sodium is still in the water suspended for awhile and then reconnects with the leftover chlorine to be recycled through the system again and again.

What chemical do you add when free chlorine is low?
Chlorine
What if both total and free are very low add shock or tablets?
Yes, add both before the pool turns green. Make sure that you are using a liquid test kit, because the strips always show chlorine as too low unless it is too high. Hatawa
What do you do when your total chlorine is high and your free chlorine is low?
Total Chlorine = Free Chlorine + Combined Chlorineor, put another wayTotal Chlorine - Free Chlorine = Combined ChlorineFree Chlorine is the chlorine that is doing its job.Combined Chlorine is the chlorine that has combined with contaminants such as nitrogen. It is ineffective as a sanitizer and it is noxious.Total Chlorine is the total of these two levels.To eliminate the Combined Chlorine (making all the chlorine in the pool Free Chlorine) you must shock the pool to remove the contaminants. You must reach "Breakpoint Chlorination", which is the addition of chlorine to your pool equivalent to the Combined Chlorine level times 10.example:Total Chlorine = 1.5ppmFree Chlorine = 1.0ppmSo, the Combined Chlorine (the difference between the two tests) is .5ppmBreakpoint chlorination, in this example would be .5ppm X 10 = 5ppm. So, in this example, you would add enough chlorine to your pool to raise the chlorine level up by 5 parts per million.
Cloudy pool free chlorine is not reading stabilizer is low but pH is ok?
Add chlorine and stabilizer.
What happens when you add chlorine to saltwater?
Sea water contains a low concentration of bromide ion which is oxidised to free bromine Br2 by chlorine.
Can you go in a pool if the free chlorine is low?
Yes, but you should shock it so the water stays clear (do not go in after shocking until the chlorine is at a safe level 1-3ppm)
How can you fix low chlorine?
Add more chlorine.
Why is pool Ph low and chlorine high though you have not put chlorine in for weeks?
Do you have a chlorine generator? No.
Can chlorine be liquified?
Yes, at higher pressure and/or low temperature chlorine is a liquid.
Why cl gas and NaCl solid?
Chlorine is an atom. Sodium is a metal, a solid. When Na (sodium) and Cl (Chlorine) react, electrons are exchanged, and the properties of the compound NaCl are different from both sodium and Chlorine. And Chlorine gas is just a state of matter, if in a low enough temperature, it will freeze, becoming a solid. Like
Why is the free chlorine level so low even after running the chlorine generator continuously for days?
Could be your PH is not in balance making it seem there is no chlorine, Your salt lavel needs be between 2700 and 3200 ppm. Your Alkalinity may be too far off the scale. Your hardness may be to high and lastly you may have to many phosphates in the water that are consuming the chlorine.
