Running Linux On Your Swimming Pool

In my experience, people who say this are intolerent to bad pH balance or chloramines. I've had people tell me that "they can't tolerate chlorine", and tell me my pool hardly has any chlorine.
The truth is, I keep my pool chlorine levels relatively high. The trick is proper pH balance.
Incidentally, I don't have any experience with Bacquil, but the people who I know that use it, I never like the clarity of the water.
That's not a knock on anything, everybody keeps their pool the way they like it; we've been happy with chlorine (in fact, I had the ozone generator removed because I'm convinced residential ozone generators are useless).
Pool season in only 3 1/2 months. Can't wait.
You were mistaken. Which is odd, since memory shouldn't be a problem for you
