I used to think that Olympic swimmers with asthma became swimmers to improve their asthma but it appears that swimming in chlorinated pools may be the cause not the cure. About.com has 4 indepth articles in the dangers of swimming in chlorinated pools as well as one pool water purifying alternative - ozone. The problem seems to be more serious when the pool are indoors however the smell of our outdoors chlorine pool was nastyand our whole family had red eyes and bouts of swimmer's ear most of the summer. Time for a change. I chose the ionizer system because the company who sells them, Sigma Systems, is here is AZ. So far so good. I love knowing that the time I am spending in my pool is now healthy time.
Benefit- now that my pool water is chemical free I plan to plant fruit trees near the pool pump so I can use the backwashed water to water the trees.
