High heat and prolonged sun exposure take a toll on your pool’s water chemistry. Ultraviolet sunlight accelerates the breakdown of your pool’s Free Chlorine—which is necessary to maintain properly sanitized water. Preventing rapid chlorine loss is especially important through the peak summer season or during a heat wave. Take these steps to protect your pool from chlorine loss and keep your pool swim-ready.
