Pool chlorine is primarily made through electrolysis of salt water to create sodium hypochlorite (liquid chlorine) or by combining chlorine gas with lime to make calcium hypochlorite (powder/tablets).
Wait times vary by chemical: 15 minutes for liquid chlorine, 8-24 hours for calcium hypochlorite shock, and 30 minutes for muriatic acid. Always test water before swimming.
Wait times vary by chemical: 15-30 minutes for liquid chlorine, 8-24 hours for calcium hypochlorite shock, and 30 minutes for pH adjusters. Always test water levels before swimming.
