It depends on a number of factors including how much chlorine is consumed in doing its job of oxodizing radicals in the water. If the water is very well sanitized and nobody is using the pool, there's not a lot for the chlorine to do and of course it will last longer. On the other hand, if the pool water has algae and/or lots of swimmers, there is a lot for the chlorine to do and it will be used up more quickly. Water temperature is also a factor. In cold water not much wants to grow, so the chlorine is not used up in oxodizing things. Sunlight also destroys chlorine - that's why it is advisable to use a stabilizer (conditioner), which helps prevent the sun from destroying the chlorine. The bottom line is, test the chlorine level regularly and add chlorine when and as necessary.

What to do when there is Way to much chlorine in your pool?

If there is too much chlorine in your pool, you can first test the water to confirm the high levels. To reduce the chlorine level, you can aerate the water by running the pool pump and opening the pool cover to let sunlight break down the chlorine. You can also partially drain the pool and refill it with fresh water to dilute the chlorine concentration.


You added chlorine stablizer into the pool and now it is showing no chlorine?

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.
