    Which Intex Model should I buy?

    Hi all, been a while since I've checked in. I need to buy a new SWG. However, I don't want to plunk down the $500+ for an AquaTrol, etc. I think an Intex should be able to handle the job. I've been catching up on all the threads in regards to the new models with the copper output and such. I...

    WalMart Ultra Bleach - $2.54 now

    I've been fighting mad over this for several weeks now. Not for the price increase, but for the fact that all the cases and displays in the garden department as well as the end cap near the entrance showed it at $3.58, but it was ringing up at the new higher price. I bought several cases and was...

    Water Converted - Now Green (Overnight)

    Stick with it. You will be so happy when you complete the conversion and get the levels where they are supposed to be. Also, make sure that the Commercial Clorox you mentioned is not the Outdoor version. The Outdoor Clorox contains chemicals other than bleach, primarily a surfactant that you...

    Glad I'm not alone. That thing fizzed and bubbled for a good half hour. When I pulled it out, it was like brand new. I figure I might have to do that 5-6 times a season. I can tolerate that for a while. I'll get my moneys worth out of it, then upgrade. You and I have almost the exact same...

    One Month after Conversion-follow up

    Thanks Mike. I have been reading up on balancing water for the SWG, which is why I know the TA needs to drop and the CYA needs to be a little higher. We've had heavy rains here the last two weeks (rains from two tropical storms in the Gulf), so I feel lucky that my numbers are as good as there...

    One Month after Conversion-follow up

    I started my conversion from Baq to BBB back on the July 4th weekend. The conversion was pretty much by the book as has been described here many times. After about the third day I started seeing amazing results. Well, after a month the results are still amazing. The pool has been crystal clear...

    My Baquacil to BBB Conversion in Photos

    Ain't it the truth. I was in denial. I really believed in the Baq. I have seen the light.

    My Baquacil to BBB Conversion in Photos

    I've been a Baquacil user for a little over 4 years. (wow, that's sounds like I'm in group therapy) I have fought the constant battle of trying to keep the pool clear and algae free since day one. It was always a losing, frustrating battle, and an expensive one. I would guess that I spent...
