Agree with Carl on this one. We bought a house that came with a pool (first pool we've ever owned) last April and it took me a couple of months to get up to speed. It turned out there were several things wrong with the equipment and previous maintenance. After switching to BBB I looked closely at both SWG and liquid chlorine dosers. I'm now glad I didn't bother with either.

While adding chlorine in the summer can be a bit of a chore, keeping the pool over the last few months has been a breeze with twice a week dosing and very minimal pump runtimes. At this point, I wouldn't want another piece of equipment to maintain, nor another water parameter to test. And, you can always add salt if you just want that feel.
