Re: Water slightly cloudy, plan to shock; but how high to go Just a quick note to confirm two things that I believe to be true about measuring FC based on this old thread converting-from-bromine-to-chlorine-pucks-any-advice-t37885.html: 1. Because my pool was first a bromine pool, with...

Re: Water slightly cloudy, plan to shock; but how high to go Aaaaargh! Why didn't I think of that? Grrrr. But then, would the airline have allowed it in checked luggage? When I tried to buy, the seller told me that USPS will no longer mail the kits internationally. TSA might have had kittens...

Hi all, Thanks to you fine people, we are BBB users now - started this year. I buy little plastic bubbles of 9.6% sodium hypoclorite at the supermarket for 40 cents, and we use only one a day in season. When I went to buy more test strips, the pool store people said they thought we had moved...

That's just what I was thinking when I reading the previous posts. We have a very big pine near our pool, only a few meters away, and not so much pine needles in our pool. Oh yes, a few here and there, but not so bad as to write any letters of injury. :hammer: That self-pruning aspect is one...

We need a visual screen for our neighbors, but I don't want to cause trouble with there pool. They have a nice pretty suburban house, whilst ours is rather more rustic, with firewood logs getting cut up, tractors, etc. :blah: Their pool is about 9m (60') from the fenceline where I'll plant...

Hello friends, Romans, and countrymen. We used bromine pucks for years, but are now switching to BBB (via a few other threads - search if your interested). Years passed, I would just load up a few floaters in late Fall with $50 of bromine pucks, then double cover the pool. In the late Spring...

Fortunately you cough up lots of krap every hour just to clean out your lungs. I saw some countryman of mine smoking today and boy I just had to tell him how dumb it is. We are born with pink lungs then we go down hill from there, non? :hammer: :rant: I been working all day weed pulling and...

After 5 years of getting pool-stored and using bromine pucks, I'm slowly switching to chlorine. But now the garage where I stored a bucket of pucks has a strong chlorine smell. I remember seeing the damage done by chlorine gas to a metal shed under the community pool. The steel was eaten away...

I found out the easy way that the fantastic test kit from this forum cannot be shiped or mailed to France. I got a lead here for Palintest but strike out with french distributor: "We've never heard of that kit. How do you spell Palintest?" they said. This is so often what life in France is like...

Hi friends, I will try to synthesyse what I am hearing here. I have put numbers on these ideas so we can say for example "oh, number n is wrong/right" and thusly disabigueate these things clearly in our postings. 1. The chlorine pucks might be dangereus and make heat in with my bromine pucks...

No I canot say with sureness that I know that issue. Is an "issue" like explosion?

Help some expert please! I am allmost out of bromine pucks! My brominator is allmost empty now. We are going round and round here with us who are not experts but are trying with all our hearts to help me with a honest question. :hammer: Are them experts all on vacation? Please is their some...

Dave I want a "like button" for you post! :mrgreen:

It's OK we French yell a lot, all the time, when I go to American Im amazed how polite they are.

Hi Jason, would you please look at this new thread I start where now they say if I mix chlorine pucks with bromine it could EXPLODE. http://www.troublefreepool.com/post310327.html#p310327
