Hi, Scott,

This is tough to believe when you first start out but a chlorine smell around your pool indicates you need MORE Chlorine. That's not a typo. Getting your Cl level up to shock value will virtually eliminate that smell and clean up your water.

How much more? Well, it's not clear to me where your Cl is now but you need to add enough in there to reach 25ppm. It will immediately start down. You mission will be to keep adding it back in up to that 25ppm level as often as you can until your pools clears....and it will clear.

In order to do this effectively, you must have a test kit that will test for high Cl levels or trudge to the pool store a couple of times a day. We cannot tell you how much Cl to put in because we don't know your current Cl level. Post those numbers up and we'll all help you further.
