Gorlin Pools-NJ Custom Pools and Waterscapes

One of the most common and persistent misconceptions about pool ownership is that pools negatively impact property resale value.  The roots of this misconception are decades old, and date back to a time when owning and maintaining a pool was a hassle.  The tools that we use to maintain our pools, including cleaners and pool covers, have been perfected.  Plus, inventions like automatic timers and automated chemical feeders have further simplified pool ownership so that even first-time owners can get maximum enjoyment from a minimal investment in time and effort.

Among pool owners, it is a common misconception that a strong chlorine odor, and the accompanying eye irritation, is caused by high chorine levels in the water.  In truth, these are mostly likely the result of a high level of combined chlorine, usually chloramines.  Chloramines are chlorine combined with ammonia (often from perspiration) and they are not an effective sanitizer, but they do produce a strong chlorine odor.  The problem should be confirmed with a qualified expert, but the solution is usually to eliminate chloramines is usually to shock the pool by ADDING quick-release Free (non-stabilized) chlorine.
