What is the best purification system?

[JimK]

I like the convenience my SWCG offers, but I can't say it's saving me any money over traditional chlorination methods. I do like how the salt water feels and is much less irritating to the eyes. I wonder, has anyone tried adding salt to a traditionally chlorinated pool without a SWCG? Do you get the same benefit (feels better, less irritating)?

Yes and yes.
