    I've got the ph at 7.4...that was my target, but i read an article concerning iconic photographer, Howard Schatz's pool and he mentioned neutralizing chlorine before a shoot. I didn't know that was possible or necessary, but i thought i would try it.

    There is a chlorine neutralizer, but I'd argue get your pool squeaky clean so there's not a HINT of CCs, and raise your pH to the 7.6-7.8 range--which is most comfortable.

    You also should consider adding salt so that the salinity mirrors that of tears.

    Chlorine neutralizer is available from pool supplies. It is often just a solution of thio (sodium thiosulfate) but might often contain some other sulfites in addition
