he biggest problem I've found with the pool is the colour change brought on by the chlorine. I use a swimmers shampoo on me, my wetsuit and the BCD. It's designed to break chlorine bonds but it's also mild enough to use on your skin so it has little effect, if any, on my gear. It's stopped the discolouration at least.
You can get some variety of this type of shampoo off the shelf at most pharmacy's. Costs a bit more than normal shampoos but then again new gear costs more
