the county will usally shut a pool down if it gets to 1 part per million of Chlorine.
For a public pool, I would almost suggest 3 ppm.
dont tell, but I took a test kit to the water park once last year and I got a reading of right around 2 ppm.
Does that tell you how anal I am about where I swim???

Let me add this to be fair.
at 4 ppm you might actually have a slight smell of chlorine, but the problem here is that enough chlorine in the pool and the water will actaully become very acid, and in order to keep the PH where it should be, you have to add a base, when you add the base you basically kill off the excess chlorine so you might as well keep the level under control to start with.
does that make any sense???
still, if you smell chlorine, you got pee.
by the way, those chemicals that turn the water red when someone pees is not reacting to the pee, it is reacting with the chloramines.

WAIT! Before you revert to an idiot.....Isn't the smell created when the insufficient chlorine only partially breaks down the sweat, frog corpse's, bacteria plus Pee? I always ASSumed the pee took much larger doses of chlorine to be sanitized but it wouldn't be the only contaminate to cause the stink.bcp said:

Ok, one more post than Im back to tard boy.
Amino Acids, and Nitrogens that are created by the other pollutants, frogs, sweat, etc.. will also create the chlorine smell. bacteria to a very small extent.
In a swimming pool, the biggest reason for the smell is Urine, because when it is introduced, it is introduced in a large quantity instead of a smaller trickle type quantity of the other pollutants.
in a pool the biggest factors would be sweat, Pee and hopefully not poo. I can only assume that a frog corpse would be spotted and removed rather quickly, and not cause much of an odor.
think about this, how much sweat do you think is really in a pool? not too many people sweat while swimming. I doubt many people poo in their shorts either.
Pee is the number one cause.
there is a whole chemical cycle that can be explained all the way to the release of gas from the surface. basically when the molecule reaches the surface and hits the air, the oxygen merges with it and allows for the H20 to fall back into the pool while the gas is released.
ok, back to tard boy.

If a pool has adequate chlorine, as well as a constant source of urine (lots of kids) would the smell still be there? Or does it just happen when there isn't enough chlorine?bcp said:
Example: You get the levels right at 11:59, then open the pool. The little piss factories jump in and do their thing. Even though you start correcting the levels, wouldn't you still get the smell?

I went last night (monday) with my daughter and a friend of hers.
Her friends 24 year old sister showed up in a bikini and I was basically of no value from that point on.
anyway, it seems that right after we got there and I was floating in the water,, I over heard somebody say that a child had let loose with a baby ruth bar in the the childrens area............................ the water between the two areas is shared.
I know Im a bad parent but,, I bailed, I got out of the water so fast that I think I ran over 3 kids and a fat lady.
what is wrong with people to let their kid take a dump in a public pool??????
