Superchlorinating pool
How long before you can swim after superchlorinating swimming pool? Thanks Good Question It's not really the amount of time as it is the amount of chlorine left in the pool. There can be many factors to consider as to how long it takes to go swimming after you super-chlorinate: 1. How high the chlorine is 2. If you put a cover on the pool 3. Sun 4. Heat 5. Any organic matter that falls into the pool (leaves, grass clippings, etc..) that will use up some chlorine 6. Filtration cycle Adjust Your Swimming Pool Chlorine..Swimming Pool Chemistry..Swimming Pool Care. Probably a good rule of thumb is to wait 2 days after super-chlorinating your pool. Test the water using a Taylor Reagent K-2006 test kit. When the chlorine gets down between 1.5ppm - 3.5ppm your pool should be safe to swim in. Water Testing Kit..Swimming Pool Chemistry..Swimming Pool Care Keep your cyanuric acid level between 20 - 40. Adjust Your Swimming Pool Chlorine..Swimming Pool Chemistry..Swimming Pool Care. If you need to use the pool sooner you can add a chemical called Thiosulphate to reduce the chlorine faster. This can be purchased at any pool supply store.
