Question 1 of 22
← Back
Two outdoor pools test at exactly the same free available chlorine level, but one is operating at a distinctly lower pH than the other. Why does the lower-pH pool disinfect faster?
A
Lower pH converts combined chlorine back into free chlorine
B
Lower pH raises water temperature, and warmer water always disinfects faster
C
A larger share of its free chlorine exists as hypochlorous acid, the far stronger killing form
D
Lower pH increases the total quantity of free chlorine dissolved in the water
