If your swimming pool water smells strongly of chlorine, burns the eyes of swimmers, or causes skin
irritation, it is probably a problem with high combined
chlorine levels in the water.
To check the chlorine, take free, total, and combined
readings. Next shock your pool with an amount of chlorine that is 10 times the combined reading you got.
If you are not familiar with the term, refer to the manufacturer's instructions
for shocking your pool.
If eye irritation is the main problem, this can also be caused by a low pH or otherwise unbalanced water. So, check the chemical levels and bring the pH and chlorine into recommended ranges.
