That standard was once considered the optimum but that has changed. The current standards range from 1.5 to 3.0 or higher. Note that algae become resistant to constant levels of chlorine at say 1.5 ppm and can still breed. It would be to your advantage to let the chlor. levels fluctuate between 1.5 & 10 ppm. Other chemistry balances - pH and Total Alkalinity - are contributing factors in swimming pool water being well balanced.

What is a fresh water swimming pool?
A fresh water swimming pool is a swimming pool that does not use a saltwater chlorinator. A pool that used a salt water chlorinator has salt added to it to so that a salt water chlorinator can electronically convert part of the salt into chlorine. A fresh water pool has chlorine added to it directly either manually or Automatically.
Is the water in a swimming pool a mixture or compound?
Water in a swimming pool is compound because the water and chlorine have been chemically combined.
What type of water contains chlorine?
Any water which has had chlorine added to it. Swimming pools don't go out and buy chlorinated water from someone who has a lake full of the stuff, or anything like that. They use tap water, and add some chlorine. +++ Mains supply water is filtered then chlorinated at the treatment works, but to only about 2ppm. Swimming-pools work at 2 - 4ppm so more chlorine-donor is added to the pool.
Can you see chlorine in swimming pools?
Chlorine itself is not visible in swimming pools, but you can see its effects in the form of clear, clean water. Chlorine is added to pools to disinfect and kill bacteria, algae, and other microorganisms that can make the water cloudy or green.
Is chlorine in a pool a solute?
Yes, chlorine in a pool is typically added as a solute in the form of chlorine compounds like sodium hypochlorite or calcium hypochlorite to disinfect the water. When added to the pool water, these chlorine compounds dissolve to form hypochlorous acid, the active ingredient that kills bacteria and other contaminants.
Why does tap water and pool water typically test positive for chlorine?
Chlorine is used as a disinfectant. It's added to the mains water supply to kill off any bacteria that the treatment plant missed. The same with the water in swimming pools - except it's in a higher concentration.
