I'll honestly say that I don't know that I have ever had a SWG pool get MA.... interestingly...the guys from Coral sea's are the ones that told us their product used Bromide.... the msds doesn't lie tho :-D

Sorry I didn't chime in sooner. I'm not one to suggest the liquid chlorine method so I'm the wrong person to ask on that one...looks like everyone else that jumped in has it pretty well covered. You might also see: http://www.poolcalculator.com/ I was playing with this yesterday...pretty cool
