Some good, some bad in the article. Sadly, the usual trope about having 1ppm FC (no mention of CYA) is there and the incorrect assertion that pH drives chlorine effectiveness.... At least they correctly trash hotel hot tubs as the human-fecal-stew-of-diseases that they are Oh well, maybe TFP should use it’s Facebook account to post to their comment section?

I'm surprised that they didn't mention the dangers of dihydrogen monoxide.

I liked the part about bringing your own test strips to check the water quality That would be awesome if a bunch of people dipped their test strips and everyone got a different answer...
