I did not know this! The typical swimming pool smell that we all associete with clean pool water is NOT the chlorine itself, but the byproduct trichloramine, which is the result of a reaction between chlorine and UREA, as from pee and sweat!

Amazing, even with the 4 times as much chlorine, there is zero smell. Only if there is pee, is there smell.
It is a long one to watch.
