Pro- It's a working copper silver ionizer system. These CAN control algae effectively.
- Like true salt chlorine systems (SWCG), ionizers provide CONTINUOUS water treatment, without constantly adding chemicals (unless your pool leaks a lot)
- The Permasalt system is marketed to above-ground LINER pool owners; liners are less likely to have stains than concrete.
- There are some positive reports on the Permasalt system

Con- There is NOTHING "natural" or "holistic" about Cu/Ag alloy bars, potassium monopersulfate, sodium dichloroisocyanurate, cyanuric acid or OTHER essential components of the Permasalt system.
- Ionizer systems are effective against algae, but they are NOT effective sanitizer systems. This may not be a problem for families, since 'germs' are already shared among family members, but it can be a problem if non-family members use the pool.
- Copper silver systems stain sometimes stain pools and turn swimmer hair green.
- Pricing for the Preparate, Activate, etc is VERY high compared to the basic chemicals
- The positive reviews for the Permasalt may be paid-for. I wasn't able to find positive reviews for Permasalt on any swimming pool forum (but I only spent a few minutes searching, so their may be some.)
