what exactly is it doing? I am using "dichlor"/chlorine as needed. What is the benefit?

This item is used in the SUNDANCE SPA they have a slip in section for it. When I had a CAL SPA I used mineral sanitizer that is a yellow tube about 6" long and it works better than the item you have. We are talking about SPA's First of all does your spa have an ozinator , this is under the spa and the water flows threw the tube that has a o zone lamp on it.

I don't know. They suggest replacing it every four months. The one I am currently using is over seven months old and I have no water quality issues.

I am able to keep my water for about 5 months before having to drain and fill. Chlorine tends to eat away at the pillows and other components. Evidently it kills bacteria as well..

It has a filter/spring that filters out large particles - not chlorine. It would be ideal to buy a carbon filter and connect to your hose bib. I have been using this with vermin tea for over two years and no fertilizers and my yard is the greenest on the street.

Supposedly used in place of washing. I washed my suit after soaking anyway. It does seem to remove 90% of the chlorine smell.

Make sure u never mix bleach and ammonia.. It will create chloramine vapor, and possibly hydrazine .. both highly toxic.. They shouldn't even be stored in the same area's together..

I really don't think it does. If you read the description, it says: *Removes Chlorine, Chloramines, VOCs, and Pesticides/Herbicides. My concern was the chlorine since I use it on my compost - chlorine kills the good bacteris. That said, all the other stuff in city water will probably kill me sooner or later! I hope this was at least somewhat helpful. Also, I mentioned in an earlier post, look at both ends before putting it on the hose, the one that does not have the screen should be tipped up when you remove it from the hose after use because the carbon will run out.

It is designed to remove additional contaminants like chloramines, iron, manganese, hydrogen sulfide, copper, mercury, and lead. Many municipal water supplies have switched from using chlorine as their primary disinfectant to chloramines which are harder to remove. Regular coconut shell or bituminous carbon isn't going to treat chlormaines effectively, so this product uses catalytic carbon and KDF85 which is effective.

I cannot answer as we are putting the chlorine in the skimmer basket. I am not sure it was working for us.

It isn't the only thing you need, however you will use the Bromine a lot more than you will use anything else. When I did all the work on our hot tub, that was pretty much all I ever used and the balance was usually spot on. My husband is a tad more "strict" about things so he uses other chemicals I never really had to use. He changes the water every 3 months or so though. Good buy on the Bromide though. You'll definitely get your money's worth. Scale defense is another one that might be used more often. Rarely did I use chlorine. Hope this helps.

No mention of of Chlorine removal on the packaging. This filter is for reducing sediment.

Nothing! You don't "need" an ozonator either. This does not eliminate the use of chlorine entirely, it just reduces the amount. My old redwood tub didn't have an ozonator, but I still used the Nature2. All I do is shock the tub about once a week and check the pH.

There are many different types of chlorine. They all do the same job but at different rates. There are benefits and cons to each. Using household liquid chlorine is not strong enough to sanitize your pool. This Power Ionizer takes the need to use chlorine away! When using a Power Ionizer you only need to shock once a week with a Di-Chlor or non-chlorine shock.

I havent tested it but it definitely gets all of the chloride out of the municiple water (they use it to clean the pipes). I dont taste anything in our water. You can run red food dye through the system to see if your seals are tight. If so the water is clear. (I use the black and white filters.)

I don't see anything wrong with it.... I can tell you that this is the only product ive used that gets rid of set in body odor stains... So ill still be using it... I guess it depends on what you believe to be dangerous, I don't see anything in it that would be terribly harmful, the chlorine in your water would probably do you more harm than anything in this product.

The instruction booklet just calls it a "demineralization cartridge". I don't use it. Distilled water is MUCH better. Also, see answer #1, below.

I have used it in both a regularly chlorinated pool and a saline pool. Saline or salt water pools generate chlorine.

The system does not address de-chlorinating on its own. We do the following. We vacuum first taking out as much water as we want to change. Then add PRIME de-chlorinator liquid for the full tank capacity and a little more. PRIME label says that you should add one capful for 50 gallon tank. So, one can add upto 2 capfuls of PRIME without hurting fishes. Switch the PYTHON to add water to tank right after adding the PRIME de-chlorinator. It is very easy. I am doing this since I bought PYTHON and I have not seen any fish getting affected. One more thing, switch off the filter before adding PRIME and restart it after filling the tank.

i use it in my splash superpool (look it up if interested) with same style cleaner and really recommend it - it keeps the crap out of your filter. might want to monitor it to "burp" the air out of the system every once in awhile. there's a good video for it on youtube.
