What happens when chlorine is exposed to sunlight?

Do you mean elemental chlorine, or the "chlorine" that's used in swimming pools?Sunlight can break down swimming pool "chlorine". For that matter, it can break down elemental chlorine also, into two chlorine free radicals, which are much more reactive than elemental chlorine (which is, itself, kinda reactive). Sunlight can cause a mixture of elemental chlorine and elemental hydrogen to explode.Free radical chlorine is serious business. It's one of the prime culprits in the degradation of the Earth's ozone layer.

Do indoor pools require less chlorine than outdoor pools?

Indoor pool use less chlorine due to the fact that they are not subject to sunlight. Sunlight is the biggest killer of chlorine in pools. That is why you will use more chlorine in an outdoor pool in June and July because those are the months with the most sunlight. The other factor to take into consideration is bather load, whether an indoor or an outdoor pool.


What do you need to do if your free chlorine level is higher than your total chlorine level?

Get a new test kit or new test reagents. Total Chlorine is the measure of free and combined chlorine, therefore the free chlorine cannot be higher than the Total Chlorine. You can't put 10 gallons of water in a 5 gallon bucket.
