When Can I Swim After Adding Chemicals to The Pool?
When adding chemicals into your swimming pool, it is important to know the recommended timeframe that should be considered before swimming in the pool. This is not only to allow the chemicals to work to their full potential, it is also to protect the bathers from potentially harmful eye and skin reactions to the chemicals.
