Use muriatic acid.
To decrease chlorine levels in a swimming pool, you can either dilute the water by adding fresh water or use a pool water conditioner/dechlorinator. Testing the water regularly and adjusting the chlorine levels as needed will help maintain a healthy balance in the pool. You can also temporarily shut off the chlorine feeder to allow levels to drop naturally over time.
If free chlorine levels are at 9 ppm, it indicates a high chlorine concentration in the water, exceeding the recommended level for safe swimming. You should avoid entering the water and wait for the chlorine levels to naturally decrease with time or consider diluting the pool water with fresh water to lower the chlorine concentration. It's important to regularly test the water and ensure the chlorine levels are within the recommended range of 1-3 ppm for safe swimming.
Swimming in a pool with high free chlorine can cause skin and eye irritation. It is recommended to wait until the chlorine levels have returned to normal before swimming in the pool to avoid any discomfort or potential health issues.
Someone/something changed the original question and that is probably why it has not been answered.Safe levels for chlorine are 1.5 ppm to about 5.0 ppm. of free chlorine. You should have a test kit that will give you free chlorine readings as opposed to just a chlorine residual. Free chlorine is what sanitizes the pool water. If you can smell a chlorine odor coming from your pool then you do not have enough chlorine in the water.K
The recommended chlorine level for a pool is typically between 1-3 parts per million (ppm) to maintain proper sanitation and disinfection. It's important to regularly test and adjust chlorine levels to ensure the safety and cleanliness of the pool water.
A few days. You will probably be able to use the pool when the level gets to about 5.0 ppm 1) you should know the difference between residual chlorine and Free chlorine 2) Chlorine lost depend on size of you pool and temperature 3) circulation of water , temperature & size of pool will increase chlorine lost
You only need to shock the pool if there is visible algae, or if the ppm of total chlorine is higher than the ppm of free chlorine. Generally, a level of 2-4 ppm chlorine is all you need to keep your pool sanitary. Let the level drop to that on its own, or use sodium thiosulfate to drop it quickly if you notice itchy skin from excessive chlorine.

No
The recommended chlorine level for disinfecting private pools can be as high as 2.0 PPM. 2 ppm is now the minimum. Recommended levels are now 1.5 ppm to 5.0 ppm.
If free chlorine levels are at 9 ppm, it indicates a high chlorine concentration in the water, exceeding the recommended level for safe swimming. You should avoid entering the water and wait for the chlorine levels to naturally decrease with time or consider diluting the pool water with fresh water to lower the chlorine concentration. It's important to regularly test the water and ensure the chlorine levels are within the recommended range of 1-3 ppm for safe swimming.
First measure the ppm chlorine level that your pool is at. Next see what the ratio of chlorine is specified on the back of the chlorine package. For example to raise the pool 1 ppm add 13 ounces of chlorine to a 10,000 gal pool. Then set up a ratio of your pool size.
Chlorine level should stay between 1.0 and 3.0 parts per million (ppm) to maintain a healthy pool.
The ideal chlorine level in a pool should be between 1-3 parts per million (ppm) to effectively sanitize the water and prevent the growth of bacteria and algae. Testing the chlorine levels regularly and adjusting as needed will help maintain a clean and safe swimming environment.
Do you mean to say that you have a fresh water pool with a Chlorine Generator which uses salt? Or do you in fact have a salt water pool? bob...
Chlorine is measured in ppm (Parts Per Million). "Level 5" is probably specific to whichever brand pool test you are using. I would refer to the manual.
how much chlorine do I put for a 1,718 gallon pool
