    Default UV sanitizers for pool water?

    Has anyone had experience with UV sanitizers for pools?

    I see them around but has anyone had any experiences with them?

    They have some uses in commercial installations and possibly indoor pools but are not really a useful item in outdoor pools.
    They are not a primary sanitizer and much of their benefit is in control of persistent chloramines, which are not normally a problem in outdoor pools.
