Re: Nature Two Pool System Versus Salt System
Both copper and silver have very slow kill times so they do NOT allow you to run lower chlorine levels than without them. Copper and silver can both stain pools and copper is what turns hair green. Period!
The Nature 2 'mineral' cartridges have to be replaced every 6 months (check the price on them if you think it's cheaper to operate) and contain silver nitrate (caustic and poisonous) and copper sulfate (poisonous and registered by the EPA as a pesticide). By calling these chemicals 'minerals' they try to make them sound healthful and benign. My advice is stay away and go with salt. All the Nature 2 will do is act as a very expensive algaecide that will keep the water from turning green. However, clear water is not always safe water and if you follow the principles taught in this forum you will not have green water and it will be safe water also! Proper pool maintenance is easy and can be very inexpensive.
