Nice. My water is still too cold for this to work effectively, and the blender was much faster, and more fun. Lol.

Lol. I have a Margaritaville Machine for those.

So, I've had a nylon sock filled with granular stabilizer hanging in front of a return jet for a week and it's barely dissolved (the water is 46f). In an effort to add CYA faster (because I'm impatient), I put some in a jug, added hot water and stirred vigorously and left it out overnight in my...

Is it greener than mine was a couple weeks ago? 3 days of SLAM and filter and it was clear. Check out the before and after pics in poat #4 in the thread below. Thread 'Should I just throw these filters away?' Should I just throw these filters away?
