Don't worry - you don't. We run to a different regieme in this country as compared with the US. A FAC of x10 CAC here would be a major fick-up. The info about the smell is correct - if you can "smell chlorine" in the pool, it means there's not enough chlorine in there. Your pool may actually have very little in, and be chiefly cleaned by other methods - UV for example.
Chances are you've been unlucky a hit a pocket of piss in the pool not long out of someone else's tract and that's caused your dodgy nose.
How do I know all this shite? For reasons I won't bore anyone with, I have an STA qual in Swimming Pool and Spa Water Treatment. Don't ask....
