Why is chlorine good for the pool?

Answer 1

Why is swimming in chemicals such an excepted practice? Chlorine, Salt Generated Chlorine, Shock, Stabilizers, where does it stop? You add one chemical you need to add two more to balance the pool. Then jump on in! Technology has moved well beyond chemical addition! Look into UV systems...not Ozone generated by UV, strait UV technology will Kill algae, not just put it to sleep like chlorine does. UV also destroys more bacteria..which is why you use chemicals - than any other system including and especially salt systems. Read the World Health Organization - Healthy Pool Guidelines! Read what the Centers For Disease Control and the scientific community says about Swimming Pools and your health. Read about cryptosporidium in your pool and your kids! Read about THM's and HAA's! Read about reproductive and developmental problems associated with Chlorine Disinfection By Products (DBP's)! Then you will quit using shock, salt, stabilizers, acids,yellow treat, green treat, and use a light bulb instead! Technology is a beautiful thing!

AnswerThere are no advantages just disadvantages to chlorine it scars your arteries kills your hair , try reading Natural cures they don't want you to know about.

I agree completely. Chlorine makes the pool "pretty" by killing every living thing in it. How can that be good for the human body? Not only does it scar your arteries and kill your hair, it dries out your skin and causes itching.

Chlorine may have its disadvantages however it is still accepted as the most popular and available sanitizer. Using a chlorine generator that works with Magnesium and potassium chloride will actually be good for you and the pools surroundings and if you want to lower the pools chlorine levels the introduction of a little ozone is also a possibility
