I also posted in the other forum you mentioned. Most pathogens can live in non chlorinated water. The levels of suggested chlorine allow for rapid kill times. This becomes important if an infected person enters your pool to prevent the spread of the infection. It is even more important of you have a person with a lower immunity. Children under the age of 3 to 5 are at higher risk due to an undeveloped immune system. Some thing that will give an adult a good case of gut cramps could in essence kill a child. With the emergence of antibiotic resistant pathogens we are now seeing in the lab total kill of these pathogens is not optional.
