Eye And Skin Irritation
The pH level of your eye is actually 7.3!
Have you ever tried to open your eyes under water and they immediately began to burn, or you experienced itchy skin? You may have assumed that too much chlorine was the cause when in actuality it was due to imbalanced pH or low free available chlorine. This is why it's important to keep your water balanced to ensure optimal swimmer's comfort.
