Chlorine gas is still the cheapest and most effective means of maintaining pool water quality. the salesman was trying to sell you a more expensive product. I ran a municipal swimming pool for about 10 years. If you test your water every day for ph, alkalinity and chlorine residual you will never have smelly or corrosive water. For smaller pools a hockey puck of stabilized chlorine in the skimmer or feeder will keep the residual and the ph balanced. They have been predicting the demise of chlorine as a disinfectant for 20 years, but still haven't found a better alternative. good Luck.
