    FSTI brand bleach date code

    It is $20 for a case of four 128oz bottles. Based on what I've read here it's probably not an exceptional deal, but it is the closest to me and they come 4 to a box which makes carrying them easier. I haven't yet priced it anywhere else nearby. I am a bit concerned about the shorter shelf life...

    FSTI brand bleach date code

    Hi all, I have a pool store down the street that sells FSTI brand 12.5% bleach. I'm trying to figure out the date code but there seem to be a lot of extra characters. Is this saying the 15th day of 2017? I believe the characters are 6c170151034.

    LOL Kim, yes the Ahhhhh could very well have been us! It was a really nice moment to enjoy and to reflect on how fortunate we are to be able to take on a project like this, and to have it turn out just how we envisioned it. It is too easy to take things like that for granted and I'm always...

It picked up a ton of pebbles and seemed to climb up the walls very well. Our heater was hooked up yesterday and we got...

    Thanks Kim! Given what you said about the CYA test, I bet it was actually 30, or maybe even higher. At 20 I could only sometimes make out the dot, and I was staring at it, not glancing. I'll use your tip and do it again tonight or tomorrow. On the FC it could be the pool volume is off a...

    OK, when I got home I tested chlorine and pH. pH had drifted up to 7.8 and FC was around 1. I added 121 ounces of 8.25 bleach and 30 ounces of MA half an hour apart. It was very still outside, so I got my first wiff of MA fumes. Not cool, but I seem to be fine. About an hour and a half...

    OK, I'll get the level up. Guess I should add more Cya too. Thanks!
