No liquid shock is more concentrated
After non-chlorine shock there is not any waiting time for swimming. Though it is still best to add it in at night, you could add anytime and swim right away.
If it's the stuff that HTH makes, the Shock-N-Swim stuff, you can get in right after shocking your pool. I just did it today. It's specially formulated to allow you to be able to swim immediately after shocking with 47% available chlorine.
Once chlorine level drops to 5 ppm or below, it is safe to swim.
It is generally safe to swim in a pool after adding liquid chlorine once the chlorine levels have dropped to recommended levels for swimming, which typically takes about 30 minutes to 1 hour. It is important to test the chlorine levels before entering the pool to ensure it is safe for swimming.
actually there is a chemical called shock and swim made by HTH and you can get it at walmart. You can swim 2 hrs after you shock it. There are chemicals that if you shock in the evening you can swim by the next morning.
there is shock you can buy from the pool supply store and also put lots and lots of chlorine , don't swim in it or let anybody swim in it for at least 2 to 3 days depending on how much you put in there.
Be careful when testing for chlorine. No chlorine will have a clear reading but too much chlorine will cause bleaching of the test reagent confusing you to think you have no chlorine in the pool, try doing a dilution test where you dilute half pool water and half tap water, If coloured results appear with dilution you know you have too much chlorine. Swimming with too much chlorine can cause skin rashes irritations, discolouring of swim wear rotting the stitches, and blacken jewellry.
YES you can swim with it on the chlorine won't harm anything on it
Yes, cats can swim in chlorine pools, but it is not recommended as chlorine can be harmful to their skin and eyes. It is important to supervise them closely and rinse them off with clean water afterwards.
no he couldn't swim that's why he died he drack too much chlorine and passed out in the pool! no he couldn't swim that's why he died he drack too much chlorine and passed out in the pool!
Shock your pool at sundown and you can swim in it the next morning.
This question can only be answered by testing the water. There are alot more parameters to water being balanced than just chlorine. I would rather swim in a pool that smelled like chlorine than not. At least you know there is some chlorine in the water.. THE ABOVE IS WRONG!!! If you smell "chlorine" you do not have enough free chlorine in the water. Chlorine in and of itself is odorless. The only time it smells is when it combines with organic compounds like skin cells, tanning lotions, etc. What you are smelling is "combine chlorine" which is incapable of sanitizing the water. You must therefore "shock" the pool with a high dose of chlorine or other substance to get rid of the combined chlorine and leave sufficient amounts of "free" chlorine available to disinfect the water. If a pool smells...don't swim in it until they add more chlorine!
