Free Chlorine

Free Chlorine (FC) is the pool's frontline defender, actively sanitizing and oxidizing contaminants. But too much of this good thing can lead to discomfort for swimmers and pool damage.

  • FC is the active sanitizer in your pool, directly fighting off harmful bacteria and algae.
  • High FC levels can cause skin and eye irritation for swimmers and can also be harsh on pool equipment and surfaces.
  • Low FC levels leave the pool vulnerable to contamination and algae growth.
  • Regular testing and adjustment of FC levels are essential for maintaining a healthy, clean pool.
  • The ideal FC level depends on your stabilizer (CYA) level but generally should be maintained between 1-3 ppm for a properly balanced pool.
