The dose should be given a balanced package in accordance with the usage volume of water in the pool.

Unlike other disinfectants, such as ozone and ultraviolet light, chlorine provides a residual level in pool water that continues to disinfect long after it’s applied. CDC calls chlorine and pH the first line of defense against waterborne germs that cause everything from diarrhea to swimmers’ ear to athlete’s foot. Recreational water illnesses are on the rise, which is why the CDC is working with partners, including the Water Quality & Health Council, to encourage consumers to be “activist swimmers” and check pH and the chlorine level of pool water before diving in. The Water Quality & Health Council is offering free pool test kits at www.healthypools.org/freeteststrips.
