Scientists at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (USA) have said that the smell that people know is called chlorine odor in swimming pools is the result of a mixture of chloramine, bacteria, urine and sweat. The stronger the smell of swimming pool chemicals, the more dirty the pool is. The swimming pool is clean and has no smell.

When the concentration of chloramin is so high that the nose can smell, the water in that pool can stimulate the eyes, skin and nose allergies of swimmers. Some pathogenic microorganisms such as Giardia , E.coli , cryptosporidium - cause diarrhea, weight loss, vomiting, dehydration and stomach shrinkage, can spread in public swimming pools with chlorine content Enough and low pH.
