And advice would be great!
Thanks.
I had the same problem, so when we thought about putting a pool in our
backyard I did some research and we chose a salt water pool, it uses regular
salt to provide the natural chlorine which is far less irratating to the
sinus's.. the technology is pretty simple, there is a electrolisys chamber
inline with the circulatory system which breaks the salt down from NaCL to
Na and CL.. the sodium settles toward the bottom of the pool while the Cl
<chlorine> does its job .. then the sunlight and heat of the day cause the
two to recombine and the whole process starts over again.. pretty simple and
a whole lot cheaper than traditional chlorime <bromine> style pools..
ANYWAY..the moral of the story is, a lot of the local public pools here in
the states are converting to this setup..so check around and see if you can
find one. If not, suggest it as a money saving tip.. who knows they might
look into it..
