What Is The Best Alternative To Chlorine?

I still don’t understand how you only have 29k subs. Love your videos.

Very good intelligent discussion!
Regarding ozone I was under the impression the work of destroying bad cells is only done in the ozone chamber which definitely lends itself to your point of what protects between you and I. Also another form of oxidation would be necessary for the enzyme types of particles. I totally believe in chlorine but less would be nice. I can see how a couple different sanitation oxidation plans are effective.

Great video thanks for sharing. One question....It's my understanding that UV kills chlorine. Why is this not a concern when using a UV system?

[andyh]

Doesnt UV break down the chlorine too? Ozone?

[mknmike]

Bromine? My pool is a bromine pool, and I’m not seeing much info on your channel about Bromine pools.

What do you think about Bromine Bro?

Great video, I just had a 24 round above ground pool installed with an oxygen pool system. Main drain and skimmer create very good circulation but in order to create bubbles per instruction you have to cut back on valve going to return jet(connected to oxygen system) which drastically reduces the pressure coming out of return jet and raise the pressure on my cartridge filter. Im ready to take out system and put in a chlorinator. Any thoughts? Thanks

Hi Steve, another great video. I see you made a video with pool plumbing but you don't mention anything about black poly, my pool builder will only use the black poly which is strange to me and I don't see much info on it, is it a reliable way to do the plumbing? The pool builder says he glues and clamps, it's just got me nervous :/ thank you sir.

But if the entire pool water circulates every 4 hours isn't that enough for ozone and/or UV?

[angelicadayanafernandez]

can you mix chorine with these other alternatives?

[johnhanselman]

This year I used Liquid Bleach instead of the powered Shock. Strange that shock was not available at the stores but bleach was available. The same manufacturer makes both. The Chlorine in the bleach worked great !!!.

Thinking a bit...
What if we install the UV lighting in / underwater in the pool itself, as we have other underwater lighting? 🤔

[Oinkyandthedogs]

So when you use the uv lights with a trichlor pool have you had issues with the uv light eating up the chlorine really fast? which cause high stabilizer levels

Hi Steve, great video. We are in the process of building our pool and decided to go with an AOP system (Clear Comfort) vice a salt system or traditional chlorine (tabs/liquid) as an alternative. I know we still need a residual level of chlorine along with the AOP system. What would you suggest to be the best option for residual chlorine, to pair with our AOP system? We have considered inline (and offline) chlorinators. If we go with an inline (or offline) chlorinator, where in the plumbing would you place it: before or after the heater? Thank you

The cheapest one is 50 ppm boric acid.

[drdrew]

Even if you have the full complement of UV, ozone, enzyme additive, phosphate remover and borates you’re still going to need a small residual of chlorine. Better of understanding and embracing proper chlorine and cya chemistry than trying to eliminate this proven effective method. Work smarter instead of harder
