We recently bought an 8 ft paddling pool and have been using it the past few days. Last night I put some chlorine granules in to sanitise it. (I have left over chemicals from a hot tub we owned a while back)
To be honest I thought the amount I put in would be fine and today would have been perfect to use. This morning I tested the levels and the chlorine level is coming out purple, it's darker that what the box says is too much so I know there is too much. It's over 5ppm.
I have emptied half the pool as I want to fill it with hot water so it isn't too cold, will this hopefully dilute the chlorine? Also will the sun help it to dilute too?
We wanted to use it this afternoon but I don't know if it'll be safe enough without harming our bodies.
