Okay, so you’re impatient. I get it. The pool party is in an hour, and the water smells like a janitor’s closet. Enter sodium thiosulfate—the heavy artillery of chlorine neutralizers. You can buy it at any pool store, usually as a powder or liquid.
Here’s the deal: a little goes a long way. Like, a teaspoon can neutralize 10 ppm in a 10,000-gallon pool. Start small, or you’ll turn your pool into a weird, cloudy soup. Mix it in a bucket of water first, then pour it around the edges. Wait 30 minutes, test again. Boom. Done.

Don’t panic if it overshoots
What if you add too much? Great news: you can’t really hurt the water—you just make it super low in chlorine. Then you’ll have to add more chlorine later. It’s like a chemistry seesaw. Embrace the silliness.
