How old are the test solutions or test strips? Replace if left in the sun or more than a year old. Do you have a chlorine odor? If yes, shock. Has the filter been cleaned recently? If not, clean. Do you have a chlorine stabilizer or conditioner added to the pool? If not add until residual is about 50 to 70 ppm. Add more chlorine and test for correct pH and alkalinity. Adjust if needed. Increase time on pump for the summer. Ken
Chlorine-37 has more neutrons in it than Chlorine 35
Chlorine ion (particularly Chloride ion) is more stable than Chlorine molecule
Chlorine is about 2.7 times denser than air.
Yes. The electronegativity of chlorine is more than that of hydrogen. As such, the electrons are closer towards chlorine than hydrogen in HCl.
Yes
If you have ever smelled laundry bleach, or been in a swimming pool and noticed a smell to the water- that is the smell of chlorine (in a fairly mild form). Pure chlorine gas is pale green, has a choking, burning smell, and is deadly to breathe. Whether it is "worse" than the smell of wastewater would depend on the purity of the chlorine you smell- the more pure, the worse the smell.
better!
It probably would make it worse. Chlorine is heavier than water, so when the dispenser releases chlorine, it would sit at the bottom, rather than drift down.
Some odor is normal. When they smell worse than normal it usually has soemthign to do with something your recently ate.
Sunscreen and granular chlorine mixed in the water or a bucket should not be a problem but if you get granular chlorine on your skin make sure you wash it off quickly or you can end getting a chemical burn (much worse than a sunburn)
I don't know, maybe they smell like bananas because that's what they eat.
"Mushy" is a texture, not an odor. There cannot be a "mushy" odor any more than there can be a "sticky" odor.
You probably do it everyday. Treated wastewater is probably cleaner than well water. It has all pollutants removed and is highly tested before being sent back into the system.
Snow is worse than rain. Ice is worse than snow.

A reasonably healthy pool should have nothing in the water but chlorine or other sanitizer to sanitize it cyanuric acid to stabilize the chlorine salt if its a saltwater pool sometimes there may be algaecide there as well, muriatic acid, calcium , some dust, oils. body-fats and a few other impurity's.
