China probably the only country that allows it to be transported, almost all countries require anything over about 50% to be generated on site its so unstable.

No, they dont. With out getting into one of 1000 different reasons, safety and liability is why they could never sell that to the public, if such a product existed, however only x amount of chlorine gas can be dissolved in water. Not to mention the extreme difficulty in properly measuring it...

A nifty trick with Borax is to mix it with either syrup or jelly in about a 20% borax to sugary whatever ants love goodness solution and put it out for them, they will take it back to the nest and spread it through the whole colony by feeding it to the young ones, It can take a month of doing...

The trip hazard is an electrical junction box, There is one at our house that splits off the pool light circuit to run a couple flood lights as well. If you get someone that knows what they are doing they can take a 4 inch angle grinder and cut out just enough to install a flush mount box and...

One more question as I now am CYA shy, pool calc says 128 oz of cya will bring me up to 32 ppm from 0 on a 30,000 gal pool does this sound right? The more i keep looking at 8 pounds of this stuff it just seems like an awful lot.

Re: Plaster/Fiberglass upper pool, coping and fiberglass pro For me personally im going to grind out,back fill and patch the cracks now that the underlying problem is fixed then probably use sundek or something similiar to cover everything over then install either masonry or tile coping...

You can see the problem, I worked in the masonry business for years and my father still does, so the repair itself should not be a problem, but not really sure what to do, My personal thought, was to counter sink some long tapcon fasteners through the coping and fiberglass into the concrete...

Last year after just reading pool school and following advice I had a swamp with a cya of 90 into crystal clear water in about 3 days flat, I think i was expecting another miracle, now understanding my filter was about 8 times too small it really was luck. With the cya gone and a little pop I...

Yes was a typo on my part, it is now corrected. i had total and free chlorine mixed up. The joys of being dyslexic normally i triple check but ive got a ton going on at the moment. New numbers and new filter. my sd 35 exploded yes exploded hole in pool shed. i will post pictures, but not enough...

What kind of filter would you suggest with this in mind, we have 4 kids, 2 dogs, 2 adults that spend a majority of waking moment in the pool when possible (the 2 big kids literally about 6 to 8 hours a day during the summer and are surrounded by corn and soybean fields, lots of dust and pollen?

my plumbing is all 1.5 inch

The store has a sd 60 on sale for 100.00 would that be adequate at 2.3 sq ft 60 gpm and 250 pounds of sand? it would turn over in about 9 hours.

I will edit sig shortly its a sand dollar sd 35 35 gpm 1.23 sq ft sand filter with D.E. added already. I know its small its in the budget for a new one it takes about 12 hours to turn the pool over once.

ok so im holding fc at about 15 ppm, using 10% liquid chlorine, i did shock up to about 30 ppm for about 12 hours to take care of a majority of the problem, 4 days non stop filter and backwash as necessary, I am now holding chlorine with little to no problem, however water is still cloudy as all...

yep sounds like thats what it is thanks for the link, i was having problems determining the cause, i know i can solve the problem but, actually the cya reduction saved me a ton of money as we are on a well. Pump is only off for picture. and the eye candy this is after 5 pounds cal hypo and 6...
