What solution in the USA is most commonly used to purify swimming pool water?

highflag, i don't own a pool but I know the answer to the question.

if you got this wrong, you've never owned a pool.

Salt water pools are better

I always assumed it was a chlorine compound, not just chlorine. ...Chlorine is a gas at room temperature. Update: it is here are some common compounds used according to the American Chemistry Council: sodium hypochlorite, calcium hypochlorite, lithium hypochlorite or chlorinated isocyanurates.

we all float down here georgie

highflag, i knew it, yet I've never owned a pool. haha

And after a dip in the pool, you "smelled" like chlorine. Ugh.

Bamacoqui, yes! I totally agree when we switched from chlorine to salt water we saw a big improvement in our son's skin & our guests' hair

Tannar33, chlorine is a gas. most swiming pools use a solution containing chlorine

Player By-Tor, So that's why my sister and I had green hair! We walked a mile and a half across town to the swimming pool. I was 8 and my sister was 5. I was in charge. I got there fine, but got lost trying to get home. Everything looked different on the way back! A kind man saw my sister crying and me looking upset and asked if we were lost. Our swimsuits told him where we'd come from. He called our parents, gave us proper directions and we got home alright.

Christina Chargois, swimming is also my favorite sport… but I’m not very good at it.

salt water Is bad Regular water is better

Player #33473616, Well. if u have a salt water pool, and u live in the south, wouldn't u have 2 worry about gators going 4 a swim 2??

If you get this wrong Never Swim in a pool

Used to live in a trailer park with two pools. No! I have never owned a pool. But, I got the answer right.

I can swim in a 10 feet pool

I don't own a pool but I still got it right

Neil, Witty!

Our pool is mostly saltwater but sometimes they add a little chlorine.

I knew because I own a pool. The cleaner says what they put in.

Zell. I am a female , I'm a male

Bromine is used in hot tubs because it is more stable at higher temperatures and has a wider pH range.

highflag, if you got this wrong, you've never been NEAR a pool...

Salt water pools are way to hard to swim in you can't even open Ur eyes

Bamacoqui, true 👍

when I was five they put to much chlorine in the pool at my swimming lessons and I was in the hospital for two days

TipTopFalcon52362, I did not know that but that is absolutely fabulous idea

Yes, salt is healthier for your pool, and we use it more than straight chlorine in Florida. But think about it. The chemical formula for salt is NaCl. It breaks down into sodium (Na) and (Cl), chlorine. If you use salt, you are still using chlorine.

WaldoLydeker, that actually means break point. it's the point in which all of the free chlorine gets bound up and not available to be used to disinfect. -the uv light speeds up the process of this. when this happens in your drinking water - we actually add more chlorine- otherwise bacteria is not being taken out by the cl2. chlorine attacks bacteria and "bugs" by being free. chlorine roams the water until it sees a bacteria and then grabs it and binds to it making it inert. but once used, it's done being useful. it still stays in the water for a period of time, but no longer can fight thr good fight. those already bound are considered total chlorine. those available to still fight are called free chlorine.

Bamacoqui, Indeed I have heard they are very expensive but also very easy to take care of

If the water is treated properly and tested the water should seem ok.

Bamacoqui, I-I WHAT?!?!?! IS A SALTWATER POOL EVEN A THING?!?!?!?

y'all got this don't worry

Love this game .it help to keep my old brain young .

Dave, that’s funny, but really something to think about

yes but you can get it right now and then you have been using the internet for the past two months and you have no problem solving problems with your computer tomorrow morning

fight over the battery life of the same old world and the other way around the planet to get it done

good thing I saw this I'm starting swimming

wabe, sad but true. urine tanning solutions sweat that's what makes the chlorine smell.

i dont know why people dont like the smell of chlorine i like it?
