    PG13,
    I, respectfully, diasgree with the notion that there is no harm from the UV sanitizer. The UV it emits breaks down the chlorine in the water. The harm is that you pay for the chlorine and the electricity to run the UV unit.

    If the pool is indoors or otherwise shielded from the sun's UV it may be necessary to run a UV unit to break down combined chlorine. If the pool is exposed to the sun it gets plenty.

    Please don't think I'm swinging a wet noodle - I usually just float on them.

    Thanks, everyone, I've been off my computer for the last week or so. I will skip the Aquafinesse. (I found the ingredients listed when I searched for the MDS sheet). I'm so made about the UV sanitizer--it never even occurred to me that it's also breaking down my chlorine!! DUH!! I feel like I was taken for a ride because even though it was "part of the package" I know I paid for it somehow!!!! Sigh. I can always unplug it:-(
