Keep your hair and swimsuit the right color!

Problem
No one wants to see their favorite swimsuit bleached out from a fun day at the pool. When this happens it is because you have too much chlorine in the water and aren't staying within the recommended levels, which is between 1 - 4 ppm. Not only a faded swimsuit, but bleached hair or irritated eyes are possible symptoms of high free available chlorine (FAC).

Solution

Allow sunlight to decrease FAC.
Stop adding chlorine until the FAC level is 1 - 4 ppm

Preventative Maintenance

Test FAC and maintain levels in the range of 1 - 4 ppm. Adjust chlorine levels accordingly
Verify correct dosage for your pool volume when using any HTH® Chlorinating product
