    I have come across a solar powered swg on the net. Forget where I saw it but it also included a solar ioniozer since I guess it didn't generate that much chlorine!

    If you are talking about DHMO then you'd better drain it out. That stuff is reponsible for a lot of injuries and deaths each year when it's in a pool and it gets in the lungs! (Altough it does help prevent some types of injuries when a pool is full of it and someone falls in. Keeps 'em from getting banged up and bruised.)

    Yeah, that darned DHMO is the most dangerous chemical to have around. But keeping it in your pool is the only way to keep your liner from being ruined.

    I wonder if Leslie's and the other pool stores have a DHMO remover...I'd pay $20 a quart for it...

    I'd use it to polish my favorite bridge.....
