00:00 - Intro
00:59 - This will be complex chemistry, but very simplified.
02:07 - What is combined chlorine? What does chlorine "combine with"?
05:32 - Combined chlorine is an indicator of your chlorine falling behind, and the byproducts are the cause of bather discomfort, irritation and sickness.
06:00 - The pool industry uses the term "chloramines" generally to describe all of these combined chlorine byproducts.
12:06 - Chloramines, far more than pH, are behind bather discomfort, eye and throat irritation, etc.
16:12 - Even if you have a bromine pool, similar chemistry occurs (bromamines).
21:27 - There is no chemical way to get rid of nitrogen byproducts without chlorine combining there. There isn't a natural enzyme or other chemical that can break down nitrogen compounds.
28:00 - Nitrogen in your water means your chlorine will be tied up dealing with it.
28:21 - Thank you for listening!
