new products out there.....

[midtngal]

I'm guessing this is where this post would go......

Was wandering around Wally World tonight and came across these new products.....








I'm sure that these are just more rip-offs but was curious.... The "Goodbye Dry" didn't have any ingredients listed.

You had me laughing with the last one. Who peed in my pool?

 

[midtngal]

Yeah, I kinda expected to see that it made the pool turn colors when someone peed in it!

Snake oil in pretty packaging with clever marketing is my guess.

That's for sure! I checked them out...this is from their Q&A... STILL no explanation of the ingredients!

1. [h=3]What are the active ingredients in Goodbye DRY!?[/h] Goodbye Dry! contains a proprietary ingredient which is different than other products currently on the market for swimming pools. This unique ingredient works to create softer feeling water and is the first product of its kind which allows the softening effects to be felt not just during, but after swimming as well.

This stuff is awesome! It makes the water in my pool feel wet! No more dry water for me!

All of three of those trademarks are Bio-Lab, Inc./CHEMTURA CORPORATION trademarks.

What are the active ingredients in Angry Egg Pool Treatment?
Angry Egg Pool Treatment is a non-chlorine water treatment powered by proprietary DuPont™ Oxone®.

So good they had to keep it a secret.

I have money on Goodbye Dry being borates.

I was hoping it was that product.

For $30!!! People that buy this must be nuts....

If you wanted to waste $30, you could probably tell with a flame test. I did that to figure out if an unlabeled (old wrong off) chlorinating pool powder had calcium in it. Boron makes a pretty green flame, which I think you could still see even if there's sodium or other buffers in that product. I'm not spending $30 to find out.

<quote mentioning that Pool Treatment uses Oxone>

Hah ! Now that we know what to look for, it actually says Oxone on the label in the picture.

The MSDS for "Who peed in my pool" says :

Potassium peroxymonosulfate sulfate 70693-62-8 >= 50 - < 70 %
Buffering agent >= 10 - < 30 %

Isn't that another name for MPS ? The buffering agent must be special though, because this is "fizzy". Check the video :

I only have a hot tub so MPS gets measured in tea- or tablespoons, but even for a full sized pool the video seems to suggest pouring in quite a lot of powder... or is that what you need when someone pees in your pool ?
