We recently hired a pool guy to keep the pool clean and balanced. However, before that, we had a hard time keeping the chlorine levels up so we had the generator at about 70% in an attempt to move the levels.

After the pool guy took over, I ignored the levels and % and I guess he left it alone so the other day, we all went into the spa and swimming and I noticed a high chlorine smell. Later that day two of us had headaches and nausea and I noticed that after a shower, my skin still reeked of chlorine.

So today, I dug out the test kit and the chlorine color is actually a dark orange! It's supposed to be pale yellow!

Needless to say, I will get on the pool guy but just wondering if anyone else has had these symptoms and if there is a way to get better faster

Thanks!
