How can you change combined chlorine to free available chlorine?
To change combined chlorine to free available chlorine, you can perform a shock treatment by adding a chlorine shock product to the pool water. This will help break down the combined chlorine compounds and convert them back into free available chlorine. Make sure to follow the product instructions carefully and retest the water after treatment to ensure proper chlorine levels.
What if you have too much combined chlorine?
If you have too much combined chlorine in your pool, it can lead to eye and skin irritation, as well as create an unpleasant smell.
