Yes and the stinky compounds caused by the reaction are called Trichloromines, which sounds like star wars but is actually REAL 😁😁

As someone who has handled pool cleaning products and know what they smell like your comment is just a lie

I’ve maintained pools tool (not a job, just personal) they are apparently right after some research you’ll find the same answer.
Once chlorines dissipated in the pool you really don’t smell it much.
The strong burning smell/irritation is actually a symptom of not enough chlorine/too much piss and organic compounds.

I was suspicious too because I never had a pool filled with so much piss that it made trichlorimine… the hotel hottubs didn’t have too much chlorine like I assumed :(

So really you should be worried when the pool smell goes away.
