I am currently using Chlorine tablets and have measured this and acidity and it all checks out okay – although the pH level is low – so I am adding some increaser . What do I do or is it just the pH level that is creating the smell?

This takes me back a few years. I had a pool in Dallas, and everything was good with Chlorine alone. I quit checking it, because as long as I tablets in the water, and I wasn’t overpowered with chlorine smell, it was great.

However, you are supposed to add Muratic acid to maintain the Ph. I never had a "pond smell", but the acid has to be the cure.
