If you are talking about just chlorine tablets, there isn't a wait time. For most shocks it is at least 8 hours or until the chlorine comes down to a normal level of 1-3 ppm. For some shocks it is only 15 minutes, but they could also raise the chlorine too high to enter that quickly. You would need to check the water before re-entry.
You should have it running for about 2-3 days before putting fish in your tank.
Half hr. if the pump is running. Give the chemicals time to disperse. k
Any time you like.
It really doesn't matter how long you wait because chlorine is bad no matter how long you wait. It helps a little if you wet your hair with fresh water before swimming, also put a leave-in conditioner on before you swim, this way your hair won't absorb as much chlorine.
Boiling water for about 20 minutes can effectively remove chlorine.
Usually you should wait for a month, that's the time it takes it to wear off.
The maximum chlorine that a public pool can have in it and be open for use is 7.0 ppm. You could wait for it to come down on it's own or you can use a declor to bring it down. This is the rule for the state of Indiana deptartment of health.
So long as the proper free chlorine levels are maintained you should have nothing to worry about. That is what the chlorine is meant to do.
You should cool food down at least to room temp before freezing.The faster you cool cooked food the less likely bacteria will have to form on it. Putting it in an ice bath is the correct way to cool food before refrigerating or freezing it.
You should not re-enter the pool until the chlorine level is 3ppm or less on your test strip, however long that takes. Chlorine is a known carcinogen and high chlorine levels are linked to many respiratory diseases.
as long as you would any other time
I'm not sure what you mean. If your qeustion is how long do you have to wait to swim after adding chlorine, it really depends. If you're adding chlorine to bring the level up to 2.0 or 3.0ppm, then wait minimum 1 hour before swimming, and be sure the filter is on. If you're shocking the pool and bringing the level up to 10-12ppm, you need to wait until the pool reaches a safe level as stated above.
