Never liked the chlorine in pools. Are you saying it isn't used anymore?
That's a step in the right direction!

A salt water pool still uses chlorine, it just stays "mostly" in the
generator vessel.

I am amused when people complain about the chlorine tho,
A properly balanced pool tests exactly the same as WSSC tap water.

I have my routine down to the point that I spend about 10 minutes a
week on the pool in the summer. Basically get the pH right, then I
drop 2.5 tabs in the pool floater, the other half in the spa floater,
shock the pool with a gallon and a half of liquid chlorine.

In the winter you can cut that all by half or more.

I used to run the cleaner 6 hours every day but now I just run it
about once or twice a week.

Because you are avoiding swings, you can run lower levels across the
board than required in a regular system...
