I was glad I was on the phone, I can't imagine the look on my face when they said that.

:laughblue::laughblue: My husband thinks he can "sneak" cook bacon... like the aroma isn't going through the house no matter how many fans you turn on. LOL!

Don't forget to post your results here when you receive your test kit. In the meantime if you have a smartphone, iPad or tablet, download the TFP Pool Math App. It's a great way to keep track of all your pool maintenance. You enter your test results and it will compute your chemical additions...

My local grocery store brand of chlorine dropped to 6%. So I was calling around to find a less expensive source of liquid chlorine, until we do our pool renovation and install a SWG. Through the years I've heard some questionable claims/advice from pool stores, but this was a new one: PS: Hello...

^^^ What he said! :lol:

TFP doesn't have "customers". TFP has members! Welcome to the club!! :cool:

You might want to note the ZeoSand in your signature. That detail may make a difference at some point in your care. I have no experience with it, read more bad than good about it. Perhaps that's why your folks had previous cloudy problems. I recall reading that it works better with Calcium...

Well it looks like your CYA may be lowered sooner than expected thanks to Mother Nature ;)

YAY! :goodjob: I love a happy ending :smile:

Well I certainly hope sean65 gets a good night's sleep... I know I won't :laughblue::laughblue:

It could be a bad start or run capacitor on the motor.

I think others have said you buy the first full jug for ~$12 then you take it back to get it refilled. Like propane tanks.

The bad thing is if they lower it and you aren't aware, then wonder why your FC isn't as expected. Our grocery store was sold out for a few weeks which made me suspicious when they got new stock in. Sure enough it is now 6%. For the same price of course! Check your labels!!!

Per Gallon! They're the only store around so they don't have any competition. It is a free market society :shrug:

Thanks for the suggestion. The local pool store sells 12.5% for $6.99/gallon :thumbdown: so I was getting Food Lion's brand 8.25% for $2.99/gallon but their strength dropped to 6% recently. I could try Lowe's or Walmart, but the drive doesn't make it worth the savings. I was just concerned that...

I've seen a lot of folks on here say that, unfortunately our ACE doesn't. :-? I'd much rather refill a jug, it's such a waste. I at least recycle them. We just recently moved into this home and plan to install a SWG as part of the pool/yard renovation.

Me too, I sent them a PM earlier when I saw they were online. I guess we'll just have to stay tuned...

Today I too was told there was a RECALL they said "There was too much of something in it that made it dangerous." Funny I can't find anything online about the recall.

LOL true!! Now Back to Jason, and his amazing 40K!!

You've had quite a few quality reads, I enjoy them :wink:

Congratulations on 40K nuggets of knowledge!

^^^^ My thoughts exactly! I think what further compounded the confusion was that DOMO had already stated that they were using 8.25% LC not 10%. And the LC concentration doesn't even matter in the loss, just the ppm, right? Unfortunately, I've noticed that some threads will show signs of...

I always had a DE filter and crystal clear water, but we recently moved and this pool has a sand filter. The water was balanced well but it still looked a little "dull". I started adding a little DE and our water has been *Sparkling* ever since. One question, if the "queen" will only allow a...

I always had a DE filter and crystal clear water, but we recently moved and this pool has a sand filter. It takes sand filters much longer to clear up a pool, especially if your filter is very clean. The very small particulate matter in the water that makes it look cloudy gets through the filter...

$10,000 Goal Met with time to spare!!!! I'm glad to have been a part of the effort!

It'll cut in to my honey budget, but I'm in for $100.

Our local Food Lion hasn't had any of their brand bleach on the shelf for about 2 weeks. So when it was back on the shelf today I checked the label and sure enough it's now 6% :grrrr:.
