Chlorine is a chemical used to disinfect and sanitize swimming pools. Chlorine protects against bacteria and algae. It comes in liquid, granular or tablet form. The US Department of Health specifies that the chlorine content of the pool should be between 1.0-3.0 ppm.

Steps

1. 1 Shock the pool. To do this, you will need to quickly add a large amount of chlorine to the water. This will remove organic matter from the pool that can be harmful to swimmers and also prevent chlorine sanitization of the pool water.
2. 2 Maintain the correct chlorine level in the pool with a chlorine dispenser. Many pool owners prefer to use automatic devices that add chlorine gradually and maintain a constant level. This way your pool will be safe for swimming.Using an automatic chlorine dispenser will save you a lot of time because if the supply is set correctly, you only need to check the chlorine level in the water once a week. You can also use a chlorine tablet float to chlorinate your pool water.
3. 3 In order for the pool to be safe for swimming, it is necessary to control the content of chemical elements in the water. Use strips to test the chlorine level and pH in the pool water. It is necessary to dip the strip in water, and then compare its color with the color scale on the package. Once you know the level of chemical elements in the water, you can adjust the water accordingly.
