Sheltiemom18, I don't really know if chlorine makes neuropathy worse or not. But I do have an above ground pool put in specifically for aqua therapy. Anyway, I am very glad to see what Mrs. D. wrote. I have a system similar to the Ecosmarte; basically an ionizer. Now, the pool isn't totally chemical free as I still have to shock it and things of that nature. It is difficult to explain but the Ecosmarte website would probably spell out how it all works. Oh, and my own system is not a salt system. Anyway, the water doesn't taste or smell of chlorine and is silky to the skin. I have had this same system for 4 years now and it works well for me. It might be a consideration if you have a pool or perhaps find a rehab facility that uses Bromine I think it is.
