How Long After Shocking Can I Swim..Swimming Pool Chlorine
by Carlos
Thanks for the question Carlos It's really not a matter of time, but when the pool chlorine level is down to a safe level. This level is normally between 1.5ppm - 3.5ppm. After shocking your pool the chlorine level will be above 10ppm - 12ppm to kill any bacteria and organic matter in the swimming pool. With the sun and heat of Miami, you could probably swim within a couple of days because the heat will reduce the chlorine level in the pool very fast. If you need to use the pool earlier, you can use a product called Thiosulfate, which can be found in any pool supply store. Thiosulphate is a swimming pool chlorine neutralizer and will reduce the chlorine level very quickly. Be sure to read the directions and take the proper precautions when adding any pool chemicals. Have a great Summer Robert |
