I've never heard of that stuff. We just use regular chlorine tabs and I never smell chlorine. I take Brutus in the pool sometimes and he swims great but I don't think he likes it all that much. When it's hot though he can't hang out with us unless he goes for a dip.
Our pool was the BEST investment. My kids love it! Here's a picture of my daughter and one of my son and her on their boat. Now I have to buy oars for them. Not sure where they're boating to in a pool though.
