I just became a first-time pool owner (24' above ground) due to be installed soon and I have been doing some research about the chemicals needed to maintain the pool. I came across this site and I like what I see so far.
I heard about the Njonas chemical line (Enjoy/Relax) which advertises itself as "low chlorine" but there is no information on their website that discusses exactly what chemicals are being used or why it is considered low chlorine. Is anyone familiar with these products? Is this just a marketing gimmick?
From what I have seen here, the three-B solution (bleach borax and baking soda) looks like it makes a lot of sense but I would like to understand what the alternatives are. I have seen the Dichlor and Trichlor options discussed and I'm not interested in Baquacil/Revivacil so I would appreciate any information about the Njonas products. Are there any negatives to using bleach (eye irritation, bathing suit fading, women's hair color effects etc.)?
Thanks. Peter
