Any idea what the deal is with the seemingly large ph and ta rise?

check hardware stores too. also, according to the msds, balance pak 300 has more than calcium chloride. http://www.thepoolandspahouse.com/tools ... sbp300.pdf

well, I definitely wouldn't have had two things going on at once, but it's a moot point now. I can't explain your TA rise or ph demand, but it's definitely abnormal for a "normal" (following waterbear's instructions) borate addition. did you buy a specific calcium increaser product? if so, what...

is waterbear gone?

unfortunately that stuff reads as CC's on the test. so I would start using bleach or liquid chlorine and keep my FC per the chart. pool-school/chlorine_cya_chart_shock someone here will know how long it will take the mps to go away completely, but I'm not sure. once it does, you can test for...

while interesting, your sampling is very small. but if one took it at face value you would have to figure out the cost differences between clorox and great value and see if that 0.85 difference makes it worth it to buy clorox instead. also, I believe the excess lye in the off-brand bleaches make...

sheesh, butterfly beat us all! I totally missed that somehow. butterfly wins this round :super:

actual vitamin c tablet :) you will probably be amazed at the things you can buy at the store to take care of your pool. almost everything you need can be found at the grocery store, which is, I believe, the main point of the BBB method.

haha, what are the chances? did you mess with the posts to make yours appear first? ;)

what are your dimensions?

your best option for a single refill would probably be leslie's if you have one near you. http://www.lesliespool.com/browse/Home/ ... 30/I/81331
