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!

Craig and Jeanette-- although the pool has water in it year-round, I'm certainly not using it now. The high temps in the Phoenix area have only been in the 60s lately, the water is probably in the 50s. Due to the pool's surface (pebble tech) they recommend keeping water in it. Our water prices are lower in winter than summer, and since it is far easier to balance the chemicals when the water is cooler, I usually drain/refill in January.
Also--you may want to contact some of the pool builders here in Arizona who use this technology, since it is used in a significant amount of new backyard pools. The latest trend here is to use salt water, which hardly requires any chlorine. My pool builder's name is Shasta...here is their homepage: http://www.shastapools.com/
