    Yes, confused by deceptive marketing.

    Ozone reacts destructively with chlorine -- it is worse than useless, applied to outdoor chlorinated pools without special contact chambers and a dechlorination / rechlorination process.

    I just realized that could have been taken the wrong way. That wasn't an attack on anyone here. I appreciate all of the information. It was more a joke about my complete lack of knowledge on this subject.

    I'm starting to feel like the more research I do the less I really know.
