Chlorine can be used to disinfect a swimming pool and keep the water suitable for swimming. When the chlorine level gets too high, however, it can be unsafe to swim in the pool. High amounts of chlorine may even damage your pool equipment. From time to time, you may find it necessary to lower the chlorine level of the water in your swimming pool. Doing so is rather easy.
1. Purchase a chlorine neutralizer and use it in your pool to get the high chlorine level down. These products contain sodium thiosulfate, which will lower the chlorine level in your pool. Chlorine neutralizers can also be purchased in on this website. Chlorine Neutralizer
2. Replace some of the water in your swimming pool with water that has no chlorine. This will remove excess chlorine from the swimming pool while diluting the water in your pool. How much water you replace will be dependent upon the chlorine level of the water in the swimming pool.
