NY Times article "Keeping Chlorine Out of the Pool"

[smallpooldad]

Not only did the writer talk about Ozone but also talked about Nature 2. Which I am still convinced stained my pool when I was a Newbie many years ago.

I thought Ozone generators were MAJOR power consumers or am I wrong?

But from this site it does seem that it can be very helpful if PROPERLY SIZED. The technical specifications can be fairly complicated and that is the key but still ideally needs to be used in conjunction with chlorine, albeit with far less chlorine needed:

So in the end it was good that the writer brought this up but sadly did not delve much more than skin deep. This unfortunately will let companies maybe not as good as Del to sell wrongly sized products to an uninformed public as a panacea to their smelly pools which they do not look after. This is the real problem with this article.
