I didn't mean to start chemistry class (so to speak). (;-) Chem Engineer Son sent me this, in part Regarding: "... hypochlorite solutions, … and compounds like … "dichlor", …"trichlor". These compounds ... When added in small amounts to pool water or industrial water systems, the chlorine...

Ahhh. So the free Chlorine isn't chlorine ions, but HOCl. Interesting. Gotta do more homework with my Chem Engineer son. (;-) I also gotta' learn how to spell chloreen. Thanks.

OK thanks. Sounds reasonable. Folloup: What is the mechanism by which the sun depleats the chlorene? It has to combine with something if it doesn't evaporate and UV is probably the driver. I can understand that there can be *some* evaporation, but what is the chemical reaction, if any...
