Well... if you were ODed with chlorine, you would die.

The amount in a pool wouldn't harm you, but because bacteria and algae are 1000 times smaller than you, they can die easier.

Yes, chlorine can kill.

Is chlorine the same as shock?

No, chlorine and shock are not the same. Chlorine is a chemical used to sanitize and disinfect pool water, while shock is a stronger dose of chlorine used to quickly kill bacteria and algae in the pool.


Is pool shock the same as chlorine?

Pool shock typically contains a higher concentration of chlorine compared to regular pool chlorine products. Pool shock is used to quickly raise the chlorine levels in the water to kill bacteria and algae, while regular pool chlorine is used for maintenance and to keep the chlorine levels stable over time.


Will chlorine kill chromium in pool water?

Chlorine can oxidize certain forms of chromium in pool water, particularly chromium ions. However, the effectiveness of chlorine in removing chromium from pool water depends on various factors such as the form of chromium present and the concentration of chlorine. It is recommended to consult with a pool water professional for specific guidance on treating chromium in pool water.


Is pool chlorine really chlorine?

This is a tricky answer but it's quite simple... Actually the chlorine they used for the pool is like the chlorine we use to clean our fish tank. They use it to clean the germs in the pool ex. urine in the pool and young kids who can't hold back their poo.

Does a saltwater pool require the PH to be adjusted more than a non salt pool?

A salt water pool is still a chlorine pool, but a weaker form of chlorine if you will! Your PH is affected by the reaction of the "chlorine" with the contamination in the pool. Your salt generated chlorine is working harder to kill the bacteria that it can kill. Therefore there is more "demand" in your pool which will require a more consitant Ph adjustment to keep the chlorine active! The "kill rate" or time it takes to kill, of salt generated chlorine is nearly double that of chlorine. E-coli for instance can live in a chlorine pool for up to 96 hours. A salt pool, as much as 180 hours. YUCK! You should be aware that many common pool bacteria have grown immune to chlorine and salt generated chlorine! Chlorine or salt does not kill Cryptosporidium or Girardia! Science has moved well beyond chemical additon to swimming pools. Check the World Health Organizations- Healthy Pool Guidelines! Ultraviolet is the way to go! Jon La

Is it possible to get cross contamination from one pool to another if the same brush is used to vacuum?

Yes. But the only serious cross contamination issue is black algae. Good chlorine levels will kill most anything that would cross over. But black algae is very chlorine resistant and difficult to kill once it takes hold of your pool.
