Moronic Acid is an anti-retroviral agent used to treat HIV. Chlorine (especially free chlorine) is an effective disinfectant used to kill (especially) bacteria in water, like swimming pools and drinking water systems.

Chlorine added to drinking water and swimming pools has revolutionised the safety of drinking water throughout the world.

What is reduced when shower filter heads eliminate chlorine?
Also, Chlorine dries out your skin and your hair. Your skin absorbs the chlorine during your shower just like you're drinking it. That's why it's very important to pick a filtered shower head that works and preserves water pressure! like SparkPod filtered shower head.
If a pool smells like chlorine is it imbalanced?
This question can only be answered by testing the water. There are alot more parameters to water being balanced than just chlorine. I would rather swim in a pool that smelled like chlorine than not. At least you know there is some chlorine in the water.. THE ABOVE IS WRONG!!! If you smell "chlorine" you do not have enough free chlorine in the water. Chlorine in and of itself is odorless. The only time it smells is when it combines with organic compounds like skin cells, tanning lotions, etc. What you are smelling is "combine chlorine" which is incapable of sanitizing the water. You must therefore "shock" the pool with a high dose of chlorine or other substance to get rid of the combined chlorine and leave sufficient amounts of "free" chlorine available to disinfect the water. If a pool smells...don't swim in it until they add more chlorine!
