How would you test for chlorine?

You'll need a test kit or test strips. OTO drops (turn yellow) are available cheaply at places like Walmart, and provides a reliable and fairly easy to read test. Test strips use a chemical, syringaldazine, that turns bluish. This is also a reliable test for chlorine, but is not quite as easy to read. Also, the other parts of pool test strips, especially the alkalinity and stabilizer pads are NOT reliable. DPD tablets turn pink in the presence of chlorine. They are pretty easy to read, and very reliable for levels of chlorine less than 10 ppm. Above 10, they can 'bleach' out, and read zero, even though the chlorine is very high. DPD-FAS turns pink when chlorine is tested, and then back to clear as the FAS is drop-counted it. It is the most reliable and accurate method, but also more expensive and 'fiddly'. For starters, I'd recommend OTO drops. Pool store types will tell you that OTO doesn't distinguish "Free" and "Total" chlorine, which is true. But, unless you add a bunch of cheap algicide, or something like "Yellow Out", OR let your chlorine levels yo-yo around . . . it doesn't matter on outdoor pools. If you do have "Total chlorine" or, really, "Combined chlorine", simply maintaining a good constant chlorine level for several days will make it 'go away', at least on outdoor pools.


How long before swimming after using Clorox bleach in pool?

When the levels are lower than 5 parts per million. You will need to measure using an OTO test kit. If the test shows orange instead of yellow, don't go in. Hatawa

My chlorine level is a light orange what's the problem?

Light orange, eh? I know of two tests for chlorine level, OTO and DPD, and neither should be orange. Try to find a pool store near you that does pool testing, they can do a full test and give you advice. If you're using test strips that are older than a year or test drops that are older than 2 years or have been left outside in extreme heat, sun, or cold, they could have gone bad, and may need to be replaced. It's possible that, if the chlorine level is usually yellow, then the orange is indicating a high chlorine level. I've never seen it happen, but I don't use that type of test often. If that's the case, then you should not swim in the pool for a while, until your chlorine level is back to yellow, and possibly look for the chemical "thiosulfate" or "chlor neutralizer" or "chorine remover" - that can bring an excessively high chlorine level back down.


What happens if your pool has too much conditioner. it will not hold chlorine now and the conditioner level is high?

Too much of anything is not good. I'm not sure what you mean by "too much". A general answer would be this: If your pool cannot hold your chlorine, you probably need to add cyanuric acid which is a chlorine stabilizer. Many pool chlorine tablets have this already in them. Get a good DPD test kit, not OTO. You can do a partial water drain, 1/3, then add fresh water and bring your chlorine level up to 8ppm, then allow it come down. I would obviously do this first before adding any acid or chlorine. Keep the filter running 24/7 until the water is properly balanced.
