I too wanted an alternative system and my husband bought an Eco Smart
before I got to ask you all what would  happen. It is an ionizer that
uses a copper bar and a titanium bar and they claim that only copper is
released into the water and the titanium oxygenates??? it. Then what he
did when we drained the pool and refilled was to add 50lbs of 97%
chlorine to the  pool to burn off the stains on the side. He said the
clorine would all dissipate rapidly since there was no stabilizer added.
Then he tested the water, said there was only .5 of chlorine left and
started up the ionizer. What kind of noxious gasses have been produced
or would it stay in the water. I could still smell chlorine so we bought
two test kits and they said it still had alot of chlorine. Another pool
person said , no that is total chlorine not free chlorine and he said it
had formed chloromines?? and to get rid of that we needed to shock it
again???? In the mean time I am freaking because I have MCS and I am
afraid to just walk outside with the dogs. Can any of you help me with
what has probably happened with this and your general impression of such
a unit anyway, discounting the chlorine problem??  
  Also, they claim that the copper will not be absorbed by the skin and
the amount in the water is in safety levels anyway. ?? 
  Thanks for any help, Deb
