Our kids have sensitive skin (eczema and such), so we switched to Baquacil. We love it. It's easy to use and test. No alergies from it. fyi...If you switch from a chlorine pool to baquacil, you have to replace the sand in your pump..or it will gum up.

∙ 15y agoSo long as a pool chlorinator is the right size for the pool you are using most of them these days are much of a muchness. However After having seen the magnablu system By Poolrite in action for a couple of months I would definitely recommend it as the best system I have seen. The difference with this system is that it uses Magnesium and potassium chloride instead of sodium chloride.

Is pool shock the same as chlorine?
There is chlorine shock and non chlorine shock. Fo chlorine shock, which is the normal shock, it is the same a s Chlorine but unstabilized, so it will not last in the pool very long.
What is the best way to get rid of water mold in a non-chlorine pool when chlorine loops are not effective?
I have found Proteam's System support product to be very effective against it. Hmmm, What are chlorine "loops"
What are the benefits of non-chlorine shock powder vs liquid chlorine to shock pool water?
After non-chlorine shock there is not any waiting time for swimming. Though it is still best to add it in at night, you could add anytime and swim right away.
What is a safe, non-toxic, swimming pool cleaner?
There is a product called "Pool Anti-Freeze" that is a safe, non-toxic swimming pool cleaner. You can purchase it at the Aqua Superstore online and it is around $10 for a 1quart bottle of concentrated liquid.
How do you treat pool chlorine irritation?
Keep residual chlorine down to 1 or 2. Use a non-chlorine (oxygen based) shock.
Which non metal is used as a disinfectant in swimming pools?
Chlorine is the active chemical element that has been specially formulated for pool sanitation.
How do you get rid of yellow algae in a non chlorine pool?
You can ask a pool specialist about some non-chlorine pool-safe chemical. We got it, too.
Are non-chlorine pools a scam?
When debating on whether or not you should go with a chlorine or non-chlorine pool, it is important to consider the facts outside of salesman's unfulfilling promises. A non-chlorine system costs nearly $3,000 (depending on what you go with), and it is more than double the price for non-chlorine chemicals that non-chlorine advertisers promise you would not have to pay for. If you already hate cleaning dead bugs or animals out of the skimmers, don't forget that in a non-chlorine pool, all those animals and bugs are alive. The walls and steps in the pool are prone to stain because most non-chlorine systems include copper as a substitute for chlorine. Algae blooms are always extremely difficult to handle and get rid of because copper slowly kills algae. SLOWLY. I cannot stress that enough. Copper does NOT kill viruses either. On the other hand, all the bad things you may have heard about chlorine are exaggerated to make everything sound so much WORSE than it really is, so that you can be tricked into putting money in the ground (and in the hands of your sellers) with a non-chlorine pool. Does chlorine have some bad effects? Yes, but those cases are rare. (Otherwise the majority of the world would not be using chlorine pools) Chlorine was designed to kill viruses, bacteria, and algae to keep your pool a safe environment. The few side effects are irritated eyes (have you ever heard of goggles?), irritated skin (that's the sunblock you're using--use a natural alternative like coconut oil), and dry hair (what shampoo do you use? Yeah). It's your decision on whether or not you choose a non-chlorine or chlorine pool, so I suggest you choose wisely because it may be a risk to choose a non-chlorine pool.
How do you shock a 20x48 pool?
The easiest way is to use 4 lb of non-chlorine shock. Hatawa
Does a saltwater pool require the PH to be adjusted more than a non salt pool?
A salt water pool is still a chlorine pool, but a weaker form of chlorine if you will! Your PH is affected by the reaction of the "chlorine" with the contamination in the pool. Your salt generated chlorine is working harder to kill the bacteria that it can kill. Therefore there is more "demand" in your pool which will require a more consitant Ph adjustment to keep the chlorine active! The "kill rate" or time it takes to kill, of salt generated chlorine is nearly double that of chlorine. E-coli for instance can live in a chlorine pool for up to 96 hours. A salt pool, as much as 180 hours. YUCK! You should be aware that many common pool bacteria have grown immune to chlorine and salt generated chlorine! Chlorine or salt does not kill Cryptosporidium or Girardia! Science has moved well beyond chemical additon to swimming pools. Check the World Health Organizations- Healthy Pool Guidelines! Ultraviolet is the way to go! Jon La
What is the recommended hardness range for salt pools?
Same as Chlorinated pools: 80-120 ppm. A salt pool is the same as a non- salt pool. Only difference is the chlorine is made in the system thru automation/mechanically. With the addition of swimming pool salt to the water it in turn goes thru the device and returns to the pool as chlorine. Otherwise you add the chlorine manually. k
How can you neutralize chlorine?
Simple one actually. You use Potassium Monopersulfate, more commonly known as Non-Chlorine Shock. Applied to the pool at the rate of 2 lbs. Per 10,000 gal.. Repeat daily for 2 to 3 days and there you go. Chlorine neutralized. Sorry, I can't agree with that answer. Potassium monopersulfate is a non chlorine shock used to oxidize chloramines. If you have too high levels of chlorine in your pool you can neutralize some by adding sodium thyosulfate.
