Hey, Pool Owners: Is your chlorine dead in the water? When chlorine combines with contaminants, it becomes combined chlorine. And that chlorine isn't as effective at killing off contaminants. Combined chlorine is also known as chloramines, which give off that nasty chlorine-like smell under water. So if you smell chlorine, it actually means that you don't have enough active chlorine in your water.
You can get rid of all that used up chlorine by Shocking Your water with a chlorine or non-chlorine shock follow us at swim. University for more pool care Tips: Throughout the year.
But is it bad that I like the smell or chlorine
so that's why when I had 6x to much chlorine I still didn't smell it. 🤣🤣
Active chlorine is another term for free chlorine. This is what is currently disinfecting your pool. Combined chlorine is spent and no longer doing anything. Service area Kanata??

Sipping on straight chlorine🎶 Are you in Ottawa ?
You aren't smelling chlorine
So when I smell chlorine I need to add more chlorine? 🤔
Same time or separate
Wow I didnt know this. Thank you! I was wondering why I never smelled chlorine in the water
It's counterintuitive.
When you smell that nasty chlorine odor, the pool needs MORE oxidizer, in the form of chlorine or non-chlorine shock, to burn off the ammonia and nitrogen that the chlorine in the pool has combined with. (As stated in the video).
Looking forward to seeing more of your videos! I subbed you the other day!
Hope I don't get too technical or geeky in my comments, but I've been a pool tech since 1995!
(youch!)
I was a lifeguard for a few summers when I was young and I have owned my own pool for 5 years so have had plenty experience taking care of pool chemicals and balancing. But I still can’t wrap my mind around all the pool jargon and what’s what to what. So confusing But I somehow make it work🤪😎
