Typically, no.
If you have alage and are using an algaecide to help clear the water, then the chlorine is also being used up killing alage and the decaying dead algae cells in the water.
If you don't have algae and are using an alagecide as a preventative measure, then the algaecide will slowly breakdown on its own. But it will not use up the chlorine.
Hope this helps ...
check the cyanaric acid level of the water, you may have low or no stabelizer in the water, this will mask the chlorine reading. you may have a good level of chlorine but is being masked by lack of stableizer. hope this is of help, enjoy the season.

∙ 15y agoAh, yuck. Not a good idea. You may also have E.coli, cryptosporidium, giardia and who knows what in the water. I can only imagine what the quality of the water is or what shape the equipment is in. Booo.

I believe that K may have misread the question . There is not too much algae but rather too much algaecide in the pool. I have done some research and found that eye and skin irritation can occur and that swimming is not recommended. The solution is based on the type of algaecide used. If it was copper based than the only answer is to drain or partially drain (I've seen both solutions) and refill the pool. If it is a non-metal based algaecide it will clear up on its own but to give it several days to a week.

∙ 9y agoAdding too much Algaecide to pool water can result in swimmer's skin becoming irritated. It can also make the water foamy. The best way to correct this problem is to give the Algaecide time to go away on its own. Backwash the filter from time to time to help it along.

∙ 14y agoDangerous, It would take a larger amount of chlorine in a pool for it to be considered "dangerous" at least to people and animals. It would cause a person dry skin with extended exposure. Most importantly the chlorine would most likely be more harmful on your pool then it would on a person. Excessive chlorine could cause bleaching of a pool liner, and could start to degrade pool equipment if left go for a period of time.

What are the side effects of too much algaecide in a pool on humans?
One of the side effects of having too much algaecide in a swimming pool includes the likelihood of nose and eye irritations after prolonged swimming. Dry skin is also common after someone has been swimming the whole day and did not lotion up.
Why is my Swimming pool soapy on top?
It could be out of balance chemically; it could have a dirty filter or it may have too much algaecide. Have you tested the pH lately.
What should you do if you accidentally put two and a half times more algaecide than the recommended dose in your pool and is it too toxic to go in it?
Vaccum the algaecide and its treated remainder to WASTE. Keep testing until it is ok. It should be fine. You may also call the company who makes the algaecide to get their suggestions. When I had a problem with my pool about three weeks ago, the pool company put a LOT of algaecide in the pool and then I vaccumed it to waste. Now I put just the minimum in each week to prevent algae from growing.
Can you swim in a pool that has foam in it?
Suppose you could but who would want to. You possibly have added too much algaecide. Have a dirty filter. Have poor chemistry - out of balance chemically. Too many people in pool. Lack of proper filtration.
What do I do I put 10 times the dose Algaecide in my pool pool?
I suggest you contact the manufacturer of the algaecide and find out from them what would be the bes coarse of action.
How do you get the green out of your pool?
By killing the green algae with an algaecide available at your pool shop.
Is algaecide added to slat water pool when filter is on?
Adding algaecide to the pool when the filter is on should not do any harm in fact it should mix it into the water more quickly
How much chlorine do I add to kill algae?
Chlorinate it to the max or shock the pool An get some algaecide into it as wel as well.
E just bought a pool and we are putting chemicals Bacquicil and algaecide to get it primed. Why is there a white foam all over the top of the water?
Too much algicide. The only thing to do is dilute it with water.
Would algaecide cause milky water in your pool?
my pool did get milky but cleared up after 48 hours
What do you do if pool has high chlorine with algae?
Use an algaecide and test for phosphates.
How soon after you put algaecide in the pool can you get in it?
You want to have the equipment running while adding any chemicals. You will want to wait about an hour after adding algaecide.
