Pool

[petb]

Hi,

 

As we (east coast) heads into spring, I have been researching some pool cholrine alternatives. We got a pool last year and I am sure it added to my sons ticcing.

 

 

 

For those of you that get Dr. Mercola's newletters, just lastweek he did a segment on cholrine in pools. He suggestes Oxidation.

I also found this info on oxidation.

I also found this company EcoSmarte.

They use Copper Ionazation to filter the pool. My husband likes this better. He said the oxidation still uses some cholrine.

 

 

Does anyone use any alternatives or have any suggestions?

 

Thanks

Hi

 

I dont know which of the alternative systems are best........but have heard about bromination?? which I think is what hot-tubs use??

Dr Mercola is usually spot on with things and so it is worth investigating his recommendations

 

my son has such a severe tic response to chlorine (also gives him allergic hives!) that he hasnt been in chlorinated water for many years now

 

we also use shower/faucet filters for this, and drink only water without chlorine, and I use no bleach products in the home
