Alternative to using chlorine

[JimK]

Thanks for the replies. I just remember as a kid and swimming for a long time, my eyes would burn. But then again, Dad might have been putting to much chlorine in.

I'll check the links.

Same here. I find in many public pools the water irritates my eyes. However, in my own pool using the BBB method, keeping chlorine at appropriate levels in relation to CYA level per the Best Guess Chart here, I've never had an issue with irritation of any kind (skin or eyes).

Perhaps it also helps I have a salt pool?
