If there is a strong odour of chlorine it is likely that you have chloramines in your pool. Chloramines occur when the chlorine has combined with organic matter, the combined chlorine is unhealthy and no longer free to sanitise.
The chloramines give off a strong chlorine odour. It is important at this stage to oxidise your pool with Burnout 600gm (50,000l).

  • Make sure there are no holes in the cleaner diaphragm or blockages in hammer or diaphragm.
  • Ensure skimmer and pump baskets are clean and the cleaner hose is firmly attached to the vacuum plate in skimmer box.
  • Check hoses are firmly joined together and there are no splits or holes in the hose.
  • Ensure the pump and skimmer basket are clean.
  • Clean the pool filter by backwash and rinse or clean the cartridge.

  • If the hose is continually curling up, lay it out in a straight line on a hot day.

  • Clean your filter ie backwash/rinse or clean filter.
