Goodbye Dry

NicInNC · May 26, 2013

I saw this stuff at our local Walmart. Does anyone know anything about it?

We use the BBB method. Our water is crystal clear, everything balanced and things going well. I don't want to add anything that may mess things up, but I do have sensitive skin that tends to stay really dry and I'm just curious about this product.

Hi NicInNC:

Here's a quote from this website: http://silkyswim.com/frequently-asked-questions/: "Goodbye Dry! contains a proprietary ingredient which is different than other products currently on the market for swimming pools." Without knowing what that "proprietary ingredient" is, I would not use it. You are probably better off applying a skin moisturizing cosmetic product after swimming to aid in managing dry skin.

Hmmmm...I wonder how to find out what the ingredient is....

Ewwww... you have to add it weekly? Forget it. The stuff isn't cheap. $29.99 a bottle.

Have you looked into Borates? Not saying it would solve all your ills, but the water sure is nice

What about adding some salt, would that help?

I have added salt in the past and liked it very much, was planning to do it again this year, but this product caught my eye. I am a very happy BBBer, but am still a bit afraid of the more complicated things like the AA Treatment and adding borates. I used a commercial product this past week for some staining just because it was a simple two-step process, although I was less than thrilled with the results.
