How does chlorine effect newly pierced ears?
Your colors look brighter and your white look whiter. Chlorine is an oxidizer (bleach contains chlorine) Chlorine is used in swimming pools to kill bacteria that is harmful to humans, in lower concentrations it's used as a surface disinfectant to kill bacteria and mold in kitchens and bathrooms. When used in pools it's concentration is monitored to ensure it is in safe levels that work to kill germs but low enough to not bleach your skin* (*not that it would but I am just saying for humour content). As for your ear piercings the pool should pose no harm to your piercings and you should shower after swimming and rinse the piercings out just to be on the safe side.

Can you use ocean water in swimming pool to top it up?
It is not recommended to use salt water to top up your pool even if you are using an salt chlorine generator.The average salt content in a "salt pool" is between 2500-4500 parts per million (ppm) and should remain in this level range constantly.The salt content of seawater is 35,000. If you added a significant amount of salt water, you would be raising the salt content to unsafe levels that would cause corrosion and staining.If you are using regular chlorine to sanitize your pool it's still not recommended because you will still be introducing very high levels of salt to your pool chemistry that would lead to the same problems.I hope this helps.
