Swimming Pool Disinfection: What does chlorine do?
Chlorine kills germs in pools—but it takes time to work. Therefore, it’s important to make sure chlorine levels are always at recommended levels (usually between 1.0 – 3.0 ppm). All sorts of things can reduce chlorine levels in pool water. Some examples are sunlight, dirt, debris, and material from swimmer’s bodies. That’s why chlorine levels must be routinely measured. However, the time it takes for chlorine to work is also affected by the other member of the disinfection team, pH.
