In Response To: Excess ozone gas? (Liz)

I would HIGHLY suggest you dump the Bromine method and go with a Nature2/Dichlor regimine. With Bromine, you're always sitting in a chemical soup IMO. Most people who try both prefer the N2/chlorine method (not all, but certainly most from what I've run into) for the type reasons you are referring to. Give it a try so you have a basis of comparison and I'd be very surprised if you ever went back to the Bromine. If your dealer says he prefers Bromine tell him "I understand but I want to try both so that I can say which is MYYYY preference".
