Instead of a chlorine system, my husband and I have switched to a pool ionizer. It is an upfront investment of about $900, but we have spent less than $20 on chemicals this year. In the long run, it is a fantastic investment, because you only need to replace one part every 2-3 years at a cost of about $130. Also, instead of lots of chemicals, our little boy swims in basically mineral water. It uses copper & silver ions to purify the water, using NASA technology that is utilized in all gov't pools and on the space shuttles to keep water clean. The company we bought the system from is top-notch in customer care. We have called so many times with questions, and they have always been more than helpful. The bottom line is that they're helpful because they're not trying to sell us pool chemicals--our pool store was always SO helpful when we were going to need lots of stuff for our pool...
