No. You will also get a bad smell or odor from your pool water. Where did you get this idea????
Sodium thiosulfate neutralizes chlorine.
bleach neutralizers: best, sodium metabisulfite or Anti-chlor. 1tsp/2.5 gals wtr. 8tsp/20 gals wtr. Or just sodium sulfite for knocking down chlorine in pools. Also to find answers to questions just google your question you'll find an answer immediately.
sodium metabisulfite oxidizes best in an alkaline (basic solution). In low pH (2-3) the reaction occurs very slowly or not at all..
Antimony sulfide; sodium oxide; carbonic acid.
sodium metabisulfite known to be fungicidal when used alone at high concentrations. sodium metabisulfite has potential undesirable side-effects:1) sodium metabisulfite emits sulfur dioxide at acidic pHs creating a potentially toxic atmosphere for humans, they can contribute to acid rain development.2) Residues of sodium sulfite can remain on treated plants. Many people are allergic to sodium sulfite in foods so metabisulfite-containing fungicides should not be applied immediately before harvest.
Chlorine itself is rarely used as a disinfectant in swimming pools; generally are used other chemicals as sodium hypochlorite (NaClO), etc. Dissolved in water sodium hypochlorite release chlorine; and consequently gaseous chlorine exist as a solute in water.
2NaHSO3 + Br2 + H2O = NaBr + NaOBr + SO2 + H3O+ I am not happy with this answer - you have a positive charge appearing from nowhere. Also NaHSO3 is sodium bisulfite the questioner asked for sodium metabisulfite which is Na2S2O5 . However, sodium metabisulfite in the presence of water does convert to sodium bisulfite Na2S2O5 + H2O = 2NaHSO3 2NaHSO3 + Br2 + H2O = 2NaBr + H2SO4 + H2SO3
sodium metabisulfite
You can research this from the links below (While Sodium Metabisulfite has anti browning properties I am not sure that garlic does!)
Potassium metabisulfite, K2S2O5, also known as potassium pyrosulfite, is a white crystalline powder with a pungent sulfur odour. The main use for the chemical is as an antioxidant or chemical sterilant. It is a disulfite and is chemically very similar to sodium metabisulfite, with which it is sometimes used interchangeably. Potassium metabisulfite is generally preferred out of the two as it does not contribute sodium to the diet.
