What is the optimum chlorine range? How do I adjust it?
Chlorine is the most commonly used swimming pool disinfectant. If the chlorine level is too high, swimming becomes uncomfortable. Too low, and bacteria begins to grow. The ideal chlorine level is between 1.0 and 3.0 parts per million. If an inline chlorinator is used, make sure the canister is full of chlorine tablets, and turn the chlorinator up or down to adjust the output of chlorine. If a salt generator is used, make sure that the salt is in the proper range, and adjust the chlorine output at the panel. Adjustments need to be rechecked daily until the desired range is met.
