    Default Re: Ultraviolet pool sanitizers

    UV is not a primary sanitizer not is it residual. It is of some use in a commercial indoor pool to help break down some oxidation byproducts but is totally unnecesary in an outdoor pool that get even just a few hours of sunlight (UV).

    Edit: I guess chem geek and I were posting at the same time.
