Can I add acids to chlorine?
Well, if you mean chlorine gas (an element) adding an acid (which would usually require bubbling it through the acid) won't do much in most cases (but could depend on the specific acid).But, if you mean chlorine bleach (the compound sodium hypochlorite) adding an acid to it generates toxic chlorine gas.The simple answer is yes you can, but the smart and safe answer depends on which kind of "chlorine" you mean, where you are doing it, and if you want to generate toxic products or not. I definitely recommend against adding acids to household chlorine bleach!

How can chlorine levels register 0 to dark orange with the addition of a little liquid chlorine?
Do you mean that adding a little chlorine made the reading go from 0 to a higher level? You should shock your pool once a week with 1L of liquid chlorine per 10000L of water in your pool. You need to add enough chlorine to break apart the combine chlorine (the combination of chlorine and dirt which doesn't sanitize.) If you don't add enough at once, it will be used up and the chlorine reading will remain low.
