Can chlorine generators result in unusually high chlorine readings and can they give false high readings for pH and TA levels?

I can't answer the initial question if chlorine generators give off high chlorine false readings. I have an inline chlorine dispenser and it seems to work just fine for me. But the second part of the question asking if high chlorine will give false readings for pH and TA. I have read that somewhere and I am currently researching to validate that finding.

How do you reduce free chlorine in a salt water pool?
Free chlorine is the sanitizing portion of chlorine. You may not want to reduce that. Are the levels excessive? There is a product which reduces or eliminates chlorine but beware. Not a good product if you use too much. What are your readings?
What is a safe chlorine for swimming?
Someone/something changed the original question and that is probably why it has not been answered.Safe levels for chlorine are 1.5 ppm to about 5.0 ppm. of free chlorine. You should have a test kit that will give you free chlorine readings as opposed to just a chlorine residual. Free chlorine is what sanitizes the pool water. If you can smell a chlorine odor coming from your pool then you do not have enough chlorine in the water.K

What do you do if chlorine in saltwater pool is high?
Adjust your chlorine generator levels.
What do you do when your pool has too much chlorine and the pH is still at the correct level?
How do you know that it is too high? If you are using a home test kit it will show the total chlorine, which includes free chlorine and combined chlorine. Only free chlorine can sanitize the pool. Combined chlorine is broken apart by "shocking" the pool with 1L liquid chlorine per 10000L of water in the pool. (For most pools 10L is fine if you're unsure of the pool volume.) Chlorine will disipate on its own anyways. Sidenote: Are you using a lot of chlorine pucks? They contain stabilizer, which is used to keep the chlorine from burning off in the sun too quickly. If it is overused the chlorine will burn off too slowly. Are you getting readings above 10.0 ppm of chlorine? What is too high? Do you smell the chlorine? Then there's not enough chlorine. Simple as that. K
How much chlorine do you put in a15foot by 3foot pool?
I'm assuming 15 round? Not much, start with 4 ounces of granular per week, monitor levels to see where total and free is at. Make sure to shock weekly, too. A chlorine based shock is your chlorine levels need to be raised, or a non-chlorine oxidizer if your chlorine levels are above 5 ppm.
Can regular swimming cause hair fall due to chlorine..what are the safe levels for chlorine in pools?
You can check the pool chlorine levels with some litmus paper the levels need to be between 7.2 and 7.6 on the ph scale it would need a lot of chlorine for hair to fall out Safe levels are below 5ppm chlorine. You won't die if you swim in 10 ppm once or twice, but there could be harmful effects if you swim very regularly in high doses.
Do dogs affect the chlorine in pools?
Yes, dogs generally cause a higher chlorine demand. It's not a problem if you monitor the chlorine levels.
What is the relationship between stratospheric levels of atomic chlorine and ozone?
As chlorine increases, ozone is destroyed. Chlorine (from CFCs) is the cause of the ozone holes.
How many energy levels does chlorine have?
Chlorine has three electron shells with 2, 8, 7 electrons.
Can you swim in a pool that has high free chlorine?
Chlorine levels should be between 1-5 ppm
Can chlorine cause respiratory damage?
Yes it can cause severe respiratory damage to the human body . People who swim in public pools have to be careful because a public pool has to keep the chlorine levels higher than you would keep it in your private pool. When a pool owner shocks his or her pool you shouldn't swim in it until the chlorine levels have had a chance to to drop to normal readings, because the high chlorine could harm you. One sign that there is too much chlorine is burning eyes. Another believe it or not is heartburn. So please take a minute or two to ask questions about the water you are going to swim in because you are sure to swallow some during the day.
