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?

We switched from Baquacil to Chlorine a couple of years ago in our hot tubs. The lady we bought the hot tub from recommended it and even though we looked at hers and saw " big cloudy bubbles" we thought we would give it a try. We found it hard to regulate the Baquacil - we would get bubbles, cloudy water, a slimey feeling and sometimes a strange odor. We switched to Chlorine - which has proven to be a lot cheaper - and have not had any of the above issues.
