Answer:

Any time a pool is continuously overdosed with a chemical it is likely to affect swimmers (and in this case - the pool equipment, surfaces, etc.). Most common symptoms would be skin and eye irritation. Is the pH constantly low or high? Test to see where the pH level is. If it is outside the appropriate range (7.2 to 7.8), you may decide to stay out.
