So, if you don't have the funds to switch your pool over to a salt water

system - what would be the next best alternative to chlorine?

We just bought a chamber, so spending a lot on switching over the pool is

out of the question this year. Does anyone have any suggestions on an

alternative which wouldn't cost quite so much?

Thanks,

Using Bromine, I think is the alternative. Hydrogen peroxide, which might

actually be a plus, only it eats lexan used -- at least on our pool -- as the

material of the pump basket cover.

There's also -- theoretically, at least -- a pond system that could be used.

Here's a website from the UK discussing it:

There is also something that isn't that expensive that is attached between

the filter/pump and the pool that is supposed to reduce chlorine use by I

think it is 80%. You have to start with a clear pool though.

This one sounds great, and I didn't want to look at the price:

Depending on the size of your pool, the price isn't bad:

I'm glad you asked this question!
