The chlorine shouldn't hurt your acrylic nails, but having them in water quite a bit, you must be sure to have them filled every two weeks. The acrylic has a tendency to "lift' alittle after several weeks, requiring a touch up. If water gets in between the nail bed and the acrylic, that could cause mold or fungus growth.

Acrylic nails are the most common form of nail enhancement in the salon. They are strong and durable and provide a nice shape to the nail, especially for clients who have an abnormal shape to their nails. Acrylic nails are applied using a sable brush with liquid and powder. They can be applied over a natural nail or plastic tip, or they can be sculptured. They usually produce an odor but can be odorless. The nails harden on their own in just a few minutes. See similar questions...

Any chlorine in our drinking water is too much, however the EPA guidelines allow up to 4 parts per million (ppm) in municipal tap water. This is a higher percentage than the 3ppm (parts per million) suggested as safe for swimming pools. There is an abundance of information on the internet with evidence that chlorine is linked to cancer, heart disease and many other health problems. Chlorine is needed in water to kill bacteria, but it should be removed prior to use. See similar questions...

The potential of water contaminations without a chlorine additive outweighs the chlorine concerns. The cloudy water is caused by tiny air bubbles in the water similar to the gas bubbles in beer and carbonated soft drinks. After a while, the bubbles rise to the top and are gone.
