    Just a guess, when using the Enjoy (which does contain copper) you were not testing your water, correct?
    I will also guess that when you tried bromine you were also not testing your water or you would not have had the problems you listed in the first post.

    We put the generator in, I corrected the ph and alkeline and I haven't gotten the rash yet and I have been in the pool 3 or 4 times which is a miracle. I don't know if I will ever know what caused it but I hope that things stay this good!! I'm so happy after going through this for 5 + years!

    Just be VERY careful to avoid ANY chemicals, if you don't know EXACTLY what's in them. That pretty much rules out all pool store and Walmart chlorine labeled for pool use, and especially, all "non-chlorine" shocks!
