    You are right, it was from BioGuard. The conditioner is indeed BioGuard Optimizer, which he asked me to put in three stages. He did tell me that the 47% was scrap, and to stay away from it. The stuff that he sold me... I will have to take a look and see just what it is. My pool should be...

    Hmm.. He gave me a big Rear bottle of something, I think it is for TA. I put the whole thing in. Then he gave me a canister of conditioner that he told me will help soften the water a bit, as my hardness was really up.

    I wanted to follow up on this. I went to the pool place, and the guy just rocked. He tested my water, gave me a good advice, and even showed me the little bit of chems I needed. Turns out my TA was super low, so he gave me some chems to put in there. I also found out that the vacuuming works...

    Thank you for your quick reply! So, would the test kit that I bought at the store be enough then? I am just not sure if I need to put more CYA in the water or not. Am I going to be able to do the BBB method listed here if I just have that kit? The one I have is titled, Rainbow Pool & Spa...

    Help! That got your attention? :) I am trying to locate a decent kit. I went to Club Piscine today, and asked for a CYA test kit. (I had purchased a Spa/Pool kit for 25$, but inside it says to buy another test kit for CYA.) The brand is Rainbow Spa and it comes in a blue kit. The guy at the...
