That is because for Amazon it's coming from the US, where as PTKC is likely getting it from the Canadian distributor.....

I bought one of those a couple of years ago. Every year about this time, I go through it and order what I need to replace. Some of them are now expired, but not THAT expired, so they should be okay for this year. R007 is expired, but I don't think "hypo" ever actually goes bad.... Oh sorry...

Another thing to try, call the local pool supply place. I get mine bulk from there, about $0.60L I have a couple of 20L jugs, get them filled at the start of the season for $24 and maybe I get them filled again later in the season..... Last year I dumped in one at the start of the season, then...

Any of my fellow Canucks every use this company? They have a lot of the Taylor stuff, some is cheaper then Amazon, others seem more expensive. As I am planning my regular order of stuff, wondering if they are reputable or not......

Check with some pool stores, around here you can get your own 20L (~5 1/2 USG) jug filled for $12, it's 12% I go about 1 per month....

Been around this block a few times now... About 2 years ago, a pool company looked after the pool, $2.000 and the pool looked little better then it does right now, even in the height of summer. Numbers today FC=20, CC=2, PH 7.0. TA=140, supposed to rain all day tomorrow so I expect the PH to...

Well the season is underway, a couple of days ago, the cover came off, yesterday we got the water filled to the brim, today I got the pump running. Checked the chems, FC=.5, CYA=0, PH=7.0, TA=150. Hmm, there is a 7kg bucket of "Sanitizer" I know that is roughly 50-50 CL and CYA, dumped a...

Last year a pool company did the pool, the cost was $1500, and the pool was often not that clear, you could see the bottom, but a little hazy. This year was TFP, the cost was $300, $250 for the kit (it's expensive up here in Canada) and $50- for chlorine, and the water is as clear as can be...

I do it from outside with a , long pole, about once a week, as to daddy quiet time, I can relate, she is not allowed in the pool while it's being vacuumed, so I can see what is happening, without a hurricane of wave action.....

Does anyone else actually like the process of vacuuming the pool, I mean it's an hour or so, you can relax turn your brain off, and just move the pole with the head on it back and forth, with a nice clean pool as a result.....

Thanks Guys

Does Muriatic acid lose potency over time? There is a jug in the garage that has been there at least 3 years, just wondering if I should use it, or whether I should get some fresh when I fill my chlorine jugs.????

Yup.... The next project is some work on the computer, supposed to rain all day tomorrow, so that will happen then....

This is how I found and patched my suction side leak.... We rent our home, and upon startup this year, found air getting into the pool plumbing. Bubbles on the output. , and due to COVID-19 and not really wanting the pool guy inside the house, I decided to see if I could do at least a temporary...

For those of us in Scarberia (Toronto,Ontario, Canada) Cederbrae Pools will fill your 20L bulk container for CA$11.95 (plus Horrible Stupid Tax). We had 2 20L containers under the deck, got them both filled for $27. Don't know if this is a couple of weeks worth or a months worth, certainly is...
