Chlorine or SWCG for above ground pool?

[firefighter75]

So does a SWCG take away the chlorine smell and red eyes? If so - that's the route I'm going! LOL!

Seriously - I understand about the chemistry and keeping it properly balanced. I'm just trying to find out what is the better route to go. I havent bought a pool yet and I am in the research stage. Right now I am leaning towards a resin pool, but I dont know whether to go steel or aluminum wall. Working 12 hour shifts with lots of down time can play hell on your mind when searching for info. There's just too many opinions out there!

A SWCG pool IS a chlorine pool so it shouldn't make a difference. Actually, you should not smell chlorine nor get red eyes from a properly maintained pool.

Consistency in chlorination takes away "chlorine smell and red eyes". SWCGs make it easier for most people to be consistent.

Thanks - now I have a better understanding. There's just SO much information to take in...

Yeah, it's a lot at the start.
