How do I Get the Odor out of the Pool?

Chlorine Smell
If you have a strong smell of chlorine coming from your pool it is actually not the smell of chlorine, but rather the smell of chloramines. This is usually an indication that your pool water is not in the correct balance. You more then likely have a high chloramine level. You will need to have Chlorine 3-Way Test Strips and check for a free chlorine level of 1-3.

• High Chloramine level - If your pools pH levels are found in check take the following steps to lower your Chloramine level and prevent eye and skin irritation.
  1. Shock the Pool - Use one of our Pool Shock treatments to shock your swimming pool.
  2. Circulate the Pool - Allow your Pool to circulate for 24 hours.
  3. Test Free Chlorine Level - Using Chlorine 3-Way Test Strips make sure free chlorine level is 1-3 ppm.
  4. Second Shock - If the level is not 1-3 ppm then a second shock may be needed.

If you currently do not have any pool odor coming from your swimming pool you will want to keep Pool Perfect in your pool. It will help keep everything clear and perfect.

Musty Smell
We usually find that musty smells come from something covering your pool. It is probably more your pool cover then your actual swimming pool. if you do not use a cover or know that your pool cover is not the reason for your must pool smell it may be algae growth.
