Chlorine (in the form of sodium hypochlorite, calcium hypochlorite, chlorine gas, chlorinated isocyanurates, …) has prevailed worldwide as the leading disinfectant for swimming and bathing pools. To measure chlorine concentration existing in water under DIN EN 7393, 3 partial values are to be distinguished. 1.) free chlorine: chlorine that is present as hypochloric acid, hypochlorite ions, or dissolved, elementary, chlorine. 2.) combined chlorine: Portion of total chlorine which is present in the form of chloramines and all chlorinated derivatives of organic nitrogen compounds. 3.) total chlorine: Sum of the other two mentioned forms. While free chlorine immediately creates a disinfection effect, the disinfection potential of combined chlorine is highly limited. Chloramines are responsible for the smell of swimming pools and the irritation of human mucous membranes that lead to red eye. A member of this class of substances is nitrogen chloride which humans already perceive at a concentration of 0.02 mg/l. The more intensive the discoloration, the more chlorine is present in the water.
