Thanks Carl,
I hope you're not ready to have this moved to the "China Shop" but it seems to me like there are an awful lot of agencies and internet sites that make the recommendation NOT to swim in pools with an elevated cl level.

Waterbear was pinned down in his post "Smell chlorine w/ 0 cc?" to say go ahead and have 20 kids swim with a cl level up around 22 ppm. Again in your response "Best FC levels to swim?" “If you must swim in the higher FC levels, be sure to wear older bathing suits as they may fade.” ------ My response is ---- Are these responsible answers to people who accept the answers as “gospel”?!

I have read the article on Ben's site about Paraguay and agree that not using cl has a huge downside, but to compare a third world South American country's drinking water supply to our pools seems like a stretch.

In using that article to justify swimming in a 20+ ppm chlorine swimming pool we may very possibly be putting our families and guests at risk and vulnerable to liabilities I’m not ready to accept.

See these links: ----- and many many more.
