Or high levels of combined chlorine. Same thing with the smell. A properly maintained pool should not smell of chlorine, except maybe very slightly and it should not burn your eyes.

What they tell you will be adjusted so it doesn't sound as bad or negligent as it really is.

In the UK, I've been to many public swimming pools, and they always smell strongly of chlorine. You can't be serious about it being the same as tap water, that ain't gonna kill germs!

They should both be ~3 PPM. You just seldom have 30,000-40,000 gallons of tap water in the same spot with people splashing in it.

They should NOT be anywhere near as low as tapwater. Tapwater has to be low enough to drink, and it's also in clean pipes with nothing but water in them. Swimming pools have to deal with the constant influx of dirty bodies, and the water isn't going to be consumed (apart from an accidental mouthfull). They should be (and are) many times more concentrated than tap water.

Just had a check, in England, tapwater is kept under 1ppm. Pool water is kept under 5ppm. So 5 times as much, not the same.

I take it you do not have a pool and never actually ran one. I did both and I have one in my back yard now. The recommended chlorine level is 3PPM, same as tap water in the places I have tested it. I said earlier, the water coming out of my tap in Washington DC tested "ideal" on a pool test kit. They like to brag about their water quality. It is right up there with New York City.

5 PPM for a pool is very high. As a matter of fact I dropped a decimal point it is 0.3 ppm not 3 I did not see it on my tester.
This is from a UK web site
"For this reason combined chlorine residual should be kept to a minimum, preferably below 0.2ppm"

3PPM will be fine for your own pool. I take it you don't invite hundreds of people into it every day.

That's way too low (for a public, as in well used, pool). 1.0 to 3.0 is recommended. 5.0 maximum, but can cause itchy eyes in some people. In tap water, 1.0 is the maximum allowed.

From experience I can tell you that public swimming pools have WAY more chlorine than tap water. From smell, taste, stinging eyes etc.
