Is the “chlorine” smell caused from too much chlorine?
Actually, the stinky chlorine odor in a pool is not caused from high levels of chlorine. Rather it is caused from the presence of too many chloramines and a low level of free chlorine. Chloramines are formed when free chlorine bonds with contaminants in the water. To eliminate the odor, shock the pool to remove the chloramines and raise the water’s free-chlorine level.
