Last year was a little better, but we still had a couple of spells of green pool. Now that we've had problems, the pool folks tell us that it's hard to fix problems when using Baquacil. I also think chlorine products are cheaper than Baquacil...cheaper would be a very good thing. Any thoughts on switching?

What exactly is Baquacil? We have a salt-water pool and it's very cheap to maintain. Buy a 40 lb. bag of salt at Home Depot for 4 bucks, and throw it in when the levels get low. Easy, and much easier on skin/eyes, etc...
