How Long After Adding Pool Chlorine Is It Safe To Swim..How Soon

by Michelle
(Kansas)

How long after adding chlorine to our swimming pool is safe to swim?




Thanks for your question Michelle

It's not about a time question, but when the pool chlorine level is down to 1.5ppm - 3.5ppm.

This depends on the sun and heat which will eat up your pool chlorine even faster.

I always try to error on the side of caution, but for a general rule, about a 2 hour wait is fine.

Some may say 15 - 20 minutes, but I wouldn't want to be the one to swim through a pocket of chlorine with my eyes open.

It's always better to be safe, especially when dealing with adding pool chemicals.

Hope this helps and have a great Summer

Robert
