    The method works!

    I've seen people talk about the info tool at the bottom of PoolMath before, but I had no idea it included so many options. If I'm using it properly, it looks like each puck (8oz) will only contribute about 2.5 points. I may go ahead and get some actual stabilizer to get it up quicker. I also...
