When it comes to keeping your pool water clean, safe, and crystal clear, chlorine is often misunderstood — yet it remains the most effective pool sanitizer available. Let's set the record straight on what chlorine really does, bust a few common myths, and highlight the best Bayrol chlorine products to help you maintain a sparkling, healthy pool.
✅ What Chlorine Actually Does
Chlorine plays a vital role in pool hygiene. It works by destroying bacteria, algae, and other microorganisms that can make your water unsafe or unpleasant. When chlorine is added to pool water, it forms hypochlorous acid, which sanitizes the water effectively.
Proper chlorine levels (typically between 1–3 ppm) are essential to:
Kill bacteria and viruses
Prevent algae growth
Oxidize contaminants like sweat and sunscreen
🛑 Common Myths About Chlorine – Busted
❌ Myth | ✅ Reality |
“Chlorine causes red eyes and dry skin.” | Imbalanced pH, not chlorine, is the usual culprit. When pH is too low or too high, it causes irritation. |
“Chlorine has a strong smell.” | That “chlorine smell” is actually from chloramines, which form when chlorine combines with sweat, oils, and urine. |
“Saltwater pools don’t use chlorine.” | They do! Saltwater systems use electrolysis to generate chlorine from salt. |
