i think you'll find its cheaper in the North, plus a lot less faffing around....



The Place next to Flippers chip shop in Karakum is worth a look, also consider using "Zerochlor" opp petrol Station in Cattlekoy.....

Definitely see David for Zerochlor. Excellent product for chlorine free swimming. Don't take my word for it look at all the positive comments on this board they all cannot be wrong.

Chlorine free seems to cause a larvae build up,

Larvae builds up in still water - run your pumps a little longer and filter them! Currently my pool pump has only been running for 3 hours a day since mid November 2009, just put it up to 4 hours a day today as the water temp has hit 24 constantly. Been using chlorine free product for past three years and only larvae build up I have found is from the half full and not properly maintained pools around.



Chlorine free certainly causes a visitor build up mind you, lots of smiles and no green hair!

i wonder if the jury will be still out when chlorine finally gets its use in swimming pools banned.



This day i look forward to.



Cheers waddo for explaining that larvae build up is only on still water,still stagnant water,although i thought that would be common knowledge!



Happy chlorine mosquito free swimming folks !

So do you use Zerochlor on its own or do other products have to be used in with the Zerochlor to gain the full crystall clear chlorine free experiance?

if you keep your PH level correct,some people only use zerochlor,but i advise useing a oxodizer to with zerochlor to give a little more sparkle to the water when needed.
