Is it safe to swim in pool with low chlorine?

Asked by: Scott Orozco
Once the chlorine level has dropped below 5.0 ppm it should be safe to swim in. That’s barely more chlorine than the tap water we use for bathing, cooking, and drinking. However, the regularly maintained level of chlorine should be even lower.
How long can pool water sit without chlorine?
24-48 hours
If you are not adding chlorine to kill bacteria, drain the pool every other day. Stagnant water without chlorine can become unhealthy water in as little as 24-48 hours.
