Best Answer

Yes it does. It's called oxidation. When your chlorine is exposed to the air it will lose it's effectiveness. Try this: Empty some out in another bucket, then empty the rest into a regular plastic garbage bag, put the bag back into the bucket, then add the rest. Remember to twist the top and get as much air out as possible. This will help.

Why do your eyes turn red after swimming in a pool with chlorine?

Because of the reaction of your eyes to ocean water or chlorine. The salt water can affect your eyes in a bad way. If your eyes are open in the ocean for too long, you could die or go blind. In a pool, the thing is chlorine. Your eyes are sensitive to the chemicals.


Does a saltwater pool require the PH to be adjusted more than a non salt pool?

A salt water pool is still a chlorine pool, but a weaker form of chlorine if you will! Your PH is affected by the reaction of the "chlorine" with the contamination in the pool. Your salt generated chlorine is working harder to kill the bacteria that it can kill. Therefore there is more "demand" in your pool which will require a more consitant Ph adjustment to keep the chlorine active! The "kill rate" or time it takes to kill, of salt generated chlorine is nearly double that of chlorine. E-coli for instance can live in a chlorine pool for up to 96 hours. A salt pool, as much as 180 hours. YUCK! You should be aware that many common pool bacteria have grown immune to chlorine and salt generated chlorine! Chlorine or salt does not kill Cryptosporidium or Girardia! Science has moved well beyond chemical additon to swimming pools. Check the World Health Organizations- Healthy Pool Guidelines!
