How much chlorine in spa is dangerous?
It depends on your 'danger' level. Any amount of chlorine can be dangerous. It only takes a few drops in a gallon of water to disinfect it (kill every living thing in there) after only a few minutes. Chlorine is classified as a toxin, yet it is put in our drinking water and in pools and used in spas. For a normal sized spa, I would never pour more than a cup of chlorine into the spa. 10 ppm is considered the max. If your spa is green and you are not going to use it then feel free to pour 2 or more cups in it. You're better off draining it at this point. To prevent chlorine breakdown, it is recommended that you add stabilizer and its level will depend on how big your spa is. Chlorine is dangerous because it can damage liners and upset water balance. I suggest that you use 2 ppm of chlorine or more then shock your water for it will prevent the bad odor.

You can add little chlorine to the water to make it bacteriostatic. You can find the chlorine in the water for months together, keeping it bacteria free. The pure water can not be stored for long and can be contaminated with bacteria, any time. The risk of chlorinated water being carcinogenic is theoretical, rather than practical. When you drink the water, most of the chlorine is eaten up by food in the stomach and by the mucous lining of the stomach. The advantages of chlorine in water are far more than the disadvantages. Because the chlorine is very economical, there is no godfather for the same.

Chlorine as a gas is poisonous but when dissolved in water it kills harmful bacteria. The gas then slowly dissipates into the atmosphere and is gone in a couple of hours.

Better disinfecting of water supplies and sewerage in the future will be achieved usindg ozone gas.
