Always take the proper precaution in dealing with these types of pool chemicals and read the manufacture’s labels.
Use heavy-duty rubber gloves and goggles and keep pool chlorine out of reach of children and pets. Again, I recommend using granular chlorine a.k.a calcium hypochlorite.
If you live in a place with high calcium fill water, you might want to use liquid chlorine (sodium hypochlorite).
When you walk outside and see green pool water, well, that's never fun, especially when it’s a major weekend and you have all of your friends over.
