Does chlorine really kill off urine?
Chlorine doesn't kill urine as normally urine is sterile there is no bacteria to kill. However it is acidic, I suppose if several blue whales peed in the pool you might have to add some extra alkali - this is most commonly soda ash (sodium carbonate) to balance out the PH level.
