CHLORINE (Cl)

A member of the halogen family of sanitizers, it's use in swimming pools is in the elemental form of a gas, liquid, granular, or tablet compound. When added to water it acts as an oxidizer, sanitizer, disinfectant, and all around biocidal agent. It is the most widely used bacteria-killing agent for recreational water treatment. Two forms of chlorine are: (1) Organic chlorine - less vulnerable to the UV rays of the sun and therefore longer lasting; (2) Inorganic chlorine - susceptible to degradation by the UV rays of the sun and therefore less convenient for pool use. Also see Hypochlorite.
