We're not much for Ionizer and mineral systems here. They are usually expensive to operate and potentially unsanitary. Mineral and ion systems that put copper in the pool water also can cause staining of the pool, fingernails and light color hair.
Many here find salt water chlorine generators convenient but will probably never be cheaper than bleach. Be ware that few AG pools are made for salt water.
The best help I can give you is this advice: Learn about the BBB method of pool care described on this forum and on PoolSolutions.com. Learn the relationship between CYA and FC and order a Taylor K-2006 testkit. Spend a season manually chlorinating and learn to control your pool - your chemical costs will be a fraction of what you spend now and you will be in charge.
