Does anyone here swim in a pool with an ozonator or other Chlorine/bromine alternative? and if so, how do you like it?
pros cons?
I am trying to convince the YMCA I swim at (which is in the middle of re-doing much of the facility) to try an alternate disinfection system for their pool. I know it's a pipe dream, but I figured I'd try anyway so I'd like to know if anyone has any experience with these?
Thanks!

I have an ozonator with my backyard pool. The pool was put in almost 5 years ago, so maybe technology has changed, but it works together with chlorine. I just don't need to put in as much chlorine, maybe 2 tablets a week in the peak summer season, when the water gets to 95. The ozone feeds into a build-in chlorine basket (next to the skimmer) and goes out in the water with the chlorine.
I also have asthma, and haven't noticed any differences in it using the ozonator. Could be that the pool is outside....
The ozonator was recommended due to the surface of the pool, it is called pebble tech, made up of tiny little pebbles, and it helps keep the calcium buildup in check a bit. I still have to drain the pool every 2 years, but every bit helps.
