What is the purpose of Pool Chlorine?

Tuesday, August 16, 2011 6:01:11 PM America/New_York

The reason that you need pool chlorine is to sanitize the water. As you use the pool, your sweat and dead skin enter the water.

This can make the pool harmful to use and can result in your pool turning into a stagnant pond. Chlorine stops this process and can keep a properly balanced pool clean and clear.
