Appropriately chlorinated swimming pools and hot tubs smell strongly of the disinfectant only when it has combined with substances like urine, lotions and hair products. A healthy pool has very little odor, Dr. Hlavsa said, and it should not turn your eyes red.

What TFP has been saying since 2007....(and other sites well before 2007.....)....
