Does chlorine kill enzymes?

Enzymes in pool water won’t kill any bacteria or algae. Enzymes are biological molecules that can speed up the breakdown of organic contaminants and help sanitizers, like chlorine, work more effectively.

What are Enzymes

An enzyme in the biological sense is a substance that acts as a catalyst in living organisms, regulating the rate at which chemical reactions proceed without itself being altered in the process.

In the pool and spa industry enzymes are biological molecules that can be used to speed up the breakdown of organic contaminants and help sanitizer work more effectively, which can result in a lower sanitizer level requirement.

What Forms Do Enzyme Products Come In And How Do I Use them?

Enzymes come in liquid form and are typically sold in 1-liter bottles or smaller. They should be poured around the perimeter of the pool (or spa), and as with all pool (or spa) chemicals, it’s important to follow the manufacturer’s directions for their specific product.
