The advantage offered by most 'alternatives' is that they, at best, reduce the amount of chlorine you need to add. The only alternative which does the entire job on its own is the Saline (salt) System and although it produces 'chlorine' (from salt dissolved in the pool water) it results in NONE of the obnoxious features attributed to chlorine - no skin irritations, no chlorine odors, no red eyes, no hair damage. A saline pool does not need 'shock' chemicals nor does it require algaecides. Whatever you do, don't get sucked into believing that baquacil is a good alternative.

Can you use halazone instead of chlorine to keep pool clean?
Halizone is used for water to be consumed internally. Never heard of it being used in a swimming pool. Why do you ask? And where can you get quantities large enough to sanitize pools? Even if you are very allergic to chlorine there other alternatives. You still have to add chlorine to the pool in some manner to sanitize even if you are using other alternatives. Chlorine is in your drinking water and I would believe that there is less chlorine in a swimming pool than in your tap water. The combination of proper filtration, chlorine or a sanitizer, pH and alkalinity balance work in combination to keeping your pool clean besides regular maintenance. K.

How do you make bacteriostatic water?
You can add little chlorine to the water to make it bacteriostatic. You can find the chlorine in the water for months together, keeping it bacteria free. The pure water can not be stored for long and can be contaminated with bacteria, any time. The risk of chlorinated water being carcinogenic is theoretical, rather than practical. When you drink the water, most of the chlorine is eaten up by food in the stomach and by the mucous lining of the stomach. The advantages of chlorine in water are far more than the disadvantages. Because the chlorine is very economical, there is no godfather for the same.
