The raw chemical, yes - it is toxic and corrosive, but it's so unpleasant that the squirrel is unlikely to sample it. However the granular form does seem to emit a vapour or fine dust that could harm a creature that can't escape.
In water at swimming-pool dilution, probably not. The animal may well smell or taste it more sensitively than we could, so simply not drink enough to be harmed.
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.
Sure but it is not the same strength as pool chlorine. It can also contain metals that can stain you pool surface.
Yes. It could kill them.
No nothing to worry about I have trees at the down hill side of pool and they cop heaps of chlorine water and are thriving.
Not hurt the pool but it can inhibit chlorine from sanitizing properly in high amounts. If its to high just drain some water out and refill with fresh.
Chlorine is used as a sanitizer for pools, not a fertilizer for plant. It kills things, like bacteria. Chlorine is a chemical and will kill, or at best, hurt plant and trees. Never just dump your pool water on or near plants and trees. Go to: www.clean-pool-and-spa.com/swimming-pool-maintenance-tips.html for more info.
sure. it won't hurt you, if that's what you're asking. if anything, the chlorine will clean the wound.
I wouldn't let the kids play with it. Seriously, tho, it probably wasn't diseased; it just fell in and drowned. But even if it were sick, there aren't many, if any, diseases that can pass from squirrel to human, and the chlorine or other sanitizers in the pool will take care of any organic matter that entered the pool from the rodent.
Most states have laws about how and where to drain pool water. You will need to check with your local authority (possibly county office). There is a product you can buy at any pool store that neutralizes the chlorine if your government prohibits it's discharge.
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.
If your talking about Swimming pool its because your pool has chlorine in it and chlorine kills fish :(
Chlorine is usually kept in the pool at all times in the form of a tablet, if you mean the chlorine shock treatment which is a poweder that dissloves into the pool, I'd give it anywhere from 30 minutes to a day, depending on how much powder you've used to how many tablets are currently in the pool. Chlorine won't necessarily hurt you, since we swim in pools with it all the time, but it can burn your olfactory senses.
Bleach is unstabilized chlorine. It is just a weaker form of the chlorine you buy at the pool store.
