I have had an ozonator and Nature2 mineral system on my personal pool since building it 10 years ago and absolutely love it. I go through very little chlorine on a yearly basis, maintaining about a 0.5 ppm in the pool. We have had several people ask about the water because they don't "smell any chlorine" when they are swimming. I always recommend it to any friends or family who ask my opinion about sanitizing their pools, and I definitely prefer it over the "magic box" of a salt system. It is amazing what dealters tell people or don't tell people when selling them a salt-based system.July 18, 2012PoolsIsland Paradise With An Explosive Swimming PoolThis yacht is a floating, tropical paradise.July 18, 2012RetailNew Pool And Spa Products For July 2012AQUA takes a look at some new and updated spa and pool products from industry suppliers.July 11, 2012BuilderNot All The Best Pools Are Built In The SunbeltAquatic design and construction can certainly be challenging, but some projects seem destined to turn out well and even exceed the highest of homeowner expectations.
