I received a flyer in the mail about the "Drinkable Pool Water System"...an AOP system that uses titanium-generated hydroxl radicals. Does anybody have information on this system? Does it work? Is it cost-effective?

Sounds like snake oil, doesn't it? I've never heard of it. Not an approved sanitizer so you would still require chlorine and CYA. SO why bother?
Ooooh! Ecosmart....bad stuff. Copper. UGH!!
UV= Dontcha get enough of that froim the sun???

I don't want to drink it, I've peed in there!

Ah, AOP. The latest in the endless "don't use cheap and effective chlorine, pay us way more for the same or worse results!" sales tactics. (HINT: it's always worse)
It is a thing. It can be used as supplemental oxidation, though in a residential pool such supplemental oxidation provided by AOP or ozone is entirely unnecessary. It does not provide adequate sanitation, if any. And given that "drinkable water" from a municipal supply tends to have a higher active chlorine level than a TFPC managed pool, that seems like a step backwards, right?

Snake oil is the first thing I thought of.....but you never know. Probably the same thing was said when SWCG came on the market.
Creating chlorine by passing electricity between metal plates is how they make Clorox. An SWG was nothing but a downsized version of that, hard to claim "snake oil" when the chlorine production can easily be demonstrated.
That's the same argument pseudo-science peddlers make, "well they laughed at [scientist], and now look!" No, you don't get to stand on the shoulders of smarter people just because you can't provide proof that your snake oil machine works.
