    Sure.

    You can run a basic old school BBB program (really BBC: bleach, borax & cyanuric acid) with almost any kind of incoming water. You can PROBABLY run an SWCG (Salt Water Chlorine Generator) as well. But the details of how to do it, depend on the details of your pool and fill water.

    1. You need to tell us what kind (make & model) of pool, pool filter, and pump you have . . . and what other equipment (heater, etc) you might have.
    2. You need to give us test results on the water you are putting INTO your pool as well as the water that is already in your pool.

    You're in Canada, so I'm reluctant to say it, but you need a K2006. Unfortunately, Lowry Assoc. has monopoly distribution rights for the K2006 in Canada, with the result that it costs almost 2x as much there, as here. Thanks to a member here, you can at least get them now: http://piscines-apollo.com/

    Once we know more, we can tell you more.
