Hi, Alan. But it would take a ton of cs, I imagine. Yes, chlorine is and it is hard on your liner, your skin, hair and eyes. It's killing power is also affected by activity in the pool as well as heat. And you have to shock it regularly.
We sold Baquacil which is hydrogen peroxide based. It isn't affected by heat or activity. You adjust your pool's balance (alkalinity etc.) then optimize addition of bacquacil and, after 10 days or so, (levels will drop gradually), you just top it off again. Much kinder to liner, skin, hair, etc. It can have a tendency to foam a little and you can't have any metal in the pool. Baquacil fights the metal as if it were bacteria so it uses up the baquacil prematurely. The very best thing you can do for housekeeping a pool is to keep your filter running and change your sand (if it is a sand filter) regularly... maybe once every season (depends on size of pool and how much traffic) and scrub the liner every week. But I have heard good things about ozonating systems. I used to think I would love to have a pool until we got into the business..lol.. I wouldn't have one now if you paid me and I am careful now about who's pool I swim in. Lola H. On Sat, Oct 4, 2014 at 2:42 PM, Alan Faulkner <ala...@gmail.com> wrote: > That made me think.
