No.
There could be several reasons why a pool may have no chlorine. This could be due to insufficient chlorine added to the pool, the chlorine being depleted too quickly, or the pool's filtration system not functioning properly. It's important to regularly test and maintain the chlorine levels in a pool to ensure proper sanitation.
Free Chlorine is the Chlorine which is free to do its work in the pool, as opposed to Combined Chlorine which is chlorine that has combined with contaminants and is tied up and ineffective as a sanitizer in the pool. Sometimes you will see it abbreviated as FAC, which stands for Free Available Chlorine.
Other names for chlorine include Cl2, diatomic chlorine, and "pool shock" when used in pool disinfection.
Excessive levels of chlorine stabilizer can reduce the effectiveness of chlorine in the pool. Try diluting the pool water by partially draining and refilling it to lower the stabilizer concentration. Test the water again after dilution to see if the chlorine levels improve.
That depends on what size pool you have. If you have a smaller pool, the amount would be less, and if you have a larger pool, the amount is more. Consult the instructions on a chlorine box for what size pool and how much to use.
Add chlorine and stabilizer.
Any one or thing swimming in the pool will reduce the amount of free chlorine available in the swimming pool. Dog hair body fats and other impurity's will take up free chlorine in the pool thereby reducing the amount of effective chlorine available. Dogs bring into the pool more contaminants than do humans for AA lot of various reasons.
My brother has a salt water pool which is a chlorine treated pool and his dog seems to prefer drinking out of the pool been doing it for years and is perfectly healthy.
So long as the chlorine levels in the pool are OK there should be nothing to worry about.
it takes a matter of time because it depends on if alot of people are in the pool or not
No it can not, because chlorine is not killable.
NO! There are often stabilizers in pool chlorine tablets that make the tablets last longer - use a bottle of bleach (sodium hypochlorite) instead.
yes
A1 Yes as long as it doesn't have any infections, such as fleas, etc. But it should be fine ---- A2 I agree with A1. The dog shouldn't have any infections, diseases, fleas, just as mentioned above. If it does, then the infections or fleas can be spread in the pool, which people will swim in, causing them to be ill. If the dog's fine, people can swim with it, too. If the dog is ill or has fleas, it should at least swim in the pool by itself, for human safety. Speaking of human safety, you should also refill the pool after the dog is done with it, just in case.
To increase the chlorine level in a swimming pool, you can add chlorine tablets, liquid chlorine, or granular chlorine according to the manufacturer's instructions based on the pool's size and the current chlorine level. It's important to regularly test the water to ensure the chlorine level is within the recommended range for safe swimming.

Yes, chlorine can irritate a dog's skin and cause dryness or itching if they come into contact with it frequently. It's best to rinse your dog with clean water after swimming in a chlorinated pool to remove any residue. Additionally, monitor your dog for any signs of irritation or discomfort.
