Hydrogen peroxide pools vs chlorine pools: Chlorine wins for hassle-free maintenance

Hydrogen peroxide breaks down in sunlight within hours, requiring constant re-dosing, while chlorine provides lasting residual protection. Commercial “peroxide systems” still rely on trace chlorine or UV/ozone, making them marketing gimmicks. For skin sensitivity, saltwater chlorinators are a better alternative—they generate milder chlorine on-site without the constant babysitting.
