You will just have to deal with the leaves. it can be done.
The bigger question is do you want to use chlorine, salt, or magnesium? do you want to kill the beneficial bacteria on your skin as you bathe in toxins, or do you want to nourish your body?

Usually we learn towards toxins and death. However, I am interested in other alternatives.
Don't know anything about salt and magnesium though.
Not sure it's available in Canada. I will look into further though. Thanks a lot.
