Pool smells of chlorine: chloramines explained

A strong chlorine smell often means combined chlorine, not clean and safe water.

What the smell means

A strong chlorine smell is commonly linked to chloramines, which form when chlorine reacts with sweat, cosmetics and other contaminants.

What to measure

Check free chlorine, combined chlorine, pH and filtration. The answer is not always adding more chlorine without knowing the values.

How to improve it

Improve hygiene before bathing, keep pH in range, oxidize according to label instructions and make sure ventilation and water turnover are adequate.
