Nature2 and test strip question

We're thinking of switching from chlorine to Nature2 because my husband seems to be pretty sensitive to both Bromine and then the chlorine we switched to when we drained last time.

First question - we have kids who use the spa (right along with a load of kids) very regularly and i'm quite used to throwing some extra chemical after they all get out. Does Nature2 remove all the kids germs and general kid-stuff like the chlorine or Bromine? And if it doesn't and we need to add chlorine on occasion, doesn't that defeat the purpose of a "nature" cleaner? How much less chlorine is used? We change the water on the minimum over every other month but usually sooner than that.

Second question - test strips...are the ones at walmart terrible? should I only get the ones from the spa store? I have the spa ones but am almost out!

You all are great!
