    There's nothing wrong with Walmart chemicals, that's not wrong with all the other pool chemicals. Avoid their combo-shock product -- it has 'fillers' just like the expensive poolstore BioGuard product. Walmart PLAIN dichlor or stabilizer is OK.

    Swimmer's ear is avoidable. Read this page =>

    However, if you operate your pool with no chlorine . . . you are fortunate if swimmer's ear is the worst thing anyone gets from your pool.

    Yeah, they'll say ANYTHING! I had one guy tell me bleach adds to total dissolved solids and is bad. Since the dissolved solid it salt, and since a salt-water generator pool has FAR more salt than you'll get in 10 years of using bleach, you know it was just a scare tactic.
