Very few new pools these days rely on chlorine.

Ozone and UV tubes are the sanitation of choice these days.

Lots of salt systems out there that electrically reactivate free chlorine.

That’s a fine proof of there are lies damned lies and statistics. It says they get 9000 cases reported (some confirmed, some not), and then they just decide there are a whole bunch more that never get reported so therefore 748,000. Meanwhile http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/3554271/posts there’s a couple of dozen outbreaks a year and the panic on this is absurd at best.

Same way brewer’s yeast is resistant to alcohol, some microscopic beings are tougher than others. And crypto has been around a long time, first recorded over 100 years ago, they’ve just now decided it might be a source of funding so there’s a big kerfuffle.

But the chlorine in indoor swimming pool at Lacamas swim & sports club was successful in making me bald. It killed of my hair roots.
