I'm hopeful you all can point me in the right direction in what I should be using, and where. Here goes my first post:
For our opening, we use:
- 1 qt. BioGuard Pool Opening Complete
- 1 qt. BIO-DEX Protect-All Supreme
- 4 lbs. BioGuard Mineral Springs Renewal - Since this is mostly salt, I plan on just adding some borax to offset that small loss
- 3 oz. BioGuard Algae Complete
- 9 oz. BioGuard Pool Complete
- 3/4 qt. BioGuard Arctic Blue algae protector
- 3 lbs. BioGuard Arctic Blue shock
- BioGuard Balance Pak 100 - I plan on replacing this with granular sodium bicarbonate to increase alkalinity
- BioGuard Balance Pak 200 - I plan on replacing this with sodium carbonate soda ash to increase pH
- BioGuard Balance Pak 300 - I plan on replacing this with granular calcium chloride to increase calcium hardness
- BioGuard Mineral Springs Beginnings - I plan on replacing this with whatever brand pool salt is cheapest
- (Occasionally) BioGuard Maintain Smart Shock
- (Occasionally) BioGuard Optimizer
- (Occasionally) BioGuard Optimizer Plus
Appreciate all the help!
