How do I raise chlorine levels in a pool?
Use the Test KitUse the test kit to determine the amount of chlorine in the pool and to measure the pH level of the water. Chlorine levels go up and down depending on the acidity or alkalinity of the water. If the pool’s water has a pH over 8, it is too alkaline. Adding muriatic acid lowers the pH. Add baking soda to raise the pH of the water inside the pool if it is too acidic. Circulate the chemicals by running the pump. Test the swimming pool after a few hours to determine if the chlorine is in the normal range and the pH is sufficiently adjusted.Add More ChlorineAdd more chlorine if the pH levels in the swimming pool are at the required level. If the chlorine levels are too low, consider using a product like Shock to bring the levels back to normal. Use the amount of Shock or other product recommended for the number of gallons in the swimming pool. Do not swim in the water after using the product for at least 24 hours. If the chlorine levels are not dangerously low, simply add more
