Is the chlorine you put in your pool worthless? 

We put manufacturers and sellers to the test.

Memorial Day is around the corner, meaning pool season is nearly here, and that has many consumers scrambling for pool supplies as the mercury rises.  When a consumer buys chlorine, they likely figure they are buying it straight from the manufacturer and it is going to kill germs as it is intended.  However, depending on distributor, retailer and consumer care for the chlorine, it may not be working.  This is why twice a year the Arizona Department of Agriculture spends a week sampling chlorine from around the Valley and you are invited to tag along and find out which places are safe and which ones are not.
