Hi!

I am very interested in the possible use of Chlorine Dioxide for purifying my swimming pool water.

The subject doesn't seem to have been covered here before, although please point out if it has...

I'm very anti-chlorine when it comes to my swimming pool. I currently use copper to purify my pool water but I'm not convinced that it's "well enough purified" by the copper solution.

I was wondering if I could use CDS as a shock treatment, say once a week, to keep the water healthy for my kids. And if so, what quantity would be needed? Any thoughts most welcome!

Using Calcium hypochlorite, however, the chlorine might react with the copper solution though? This is my worry. Although I do recall Jim Humble saying something about the chlorine not being available. Any more thoughts most welcome!
