    I think all the Intex SWCGs have a copper electrode. Like Pappy mentioned above, copper can inhibit algae but it does not kill bacteria, etc. It also stains things and we've all seen people with blonde hair that turned green after swimming in a pool, right? Most people think it is chlorine that causes this but it is not, it is copper that does it.

    Is there a saltwater system that doesn't have copper? How do I figure out whether the one I ordered does? I don't want any issues with green hair or bacteria in the pool.
