If the chlorine level is correctly maintained this should not be a problem.
If you are getting a low reading of chlorine in your above ground pool, you should add the appropriate amount of chlorine to get it back to the correct level. This is important to keep your pool running at maximum abilities.
The level of combined chlorine in water is typically determined using a test kit that measures the total chlorine and free chlorine levels. By subtracting the free chlorine level from the total chlorine level, the level of combined chlorine can be calculated. This measurement is important in determining the effectiveness of water treatment processes.
The highest occupied energy level for chlorine is the 3rd energy level. This means that the valence electrons of a chlorine atom are in the 3rd energy level.
You only need to shock the pool if there is visible algae, or if the ppm of total chlorine is higher than the ppm of free chlorine. Generally, a level of 2-4 ppm chlorine is all you need to keep your pool sanitary. Let the level drop to that on its own, or use sodium thiosulfate to drop it quickly if you notice itchy skin from excessive chlorine.
No it isn't good. You are having trouble breathing to begin with and the high level of chlorine in a pool is not good to breath.
well, on the periodic table of elements a chlorine atom has 17 electrons, usually the first level holds up to two electrons and the second level holds up to 8. so if my figuring is correct there should be fifteen electrons on the second energy level.
Use stabilized chlorine only so long as stabilizer level (cyanuric acid level) in pool is within the recommended range of 50-80ppm.
Chlorine level should stay between 1.0 and 3.0 parts per million (ppm) to maintain a healthy pool.
Yes, bleach contains chlorine, so using bleach will raise the chlorine level in a pool or water system.
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.
