alternatives to chlorine/non-chlorine pool maint

[duraleigh]

hello to all, looking at uv and copper/silver ion systems coppper/titainium oxidation systems. we all know that chlorine isn't good for us, so i'm looking at other systems. any thoughts?

Hi, Lee,

Chlorine not good for us???? Well, imho, the alternatives are worse....much worse. Copper? Silver?...No thanks. UV? Yeah but then how do you kill the bugs in your pool since there is no residual.

Too much Cl will certainly kill you....So will too much mashed potatoes if you really consume "too much"!!!

Correctly used, there are many things in our daily lives that are quite beneficial as long as we don't decide to get stupid and make them lethal.
