I'm not amused. You don't make sense. Read the question, not part of it to understand it. This is what I asked: “So my question to expert people with experience that actually use calcium chloride ice melt in vinyl pools is, which "ice melt" calcium chloride white pellets is the best and safest...

How they let it become a thorn in their side I don't know but surely not from staying on top of balancing the calcium in their pool water... No argument here. Nor asking anyone "to see the light" This is the question in my original post" “So my question to expert people with experience that...

Thanks, But...FYI Donldson: That Leslies stuff is simply 94-97% calcium chloride which is the only mineral used to increase calcium in pool water. That is how they make money by having minerals and chemicals packaged using their label and sell it for 5x the price it can be bought for, thus ice...

Bottom line: It is best to have completely balanced pool water no matter what kind of pool you have :)

10-4 Thanks! Not trying to convince but you may want to talk to some scientists or even look into information all over the internet written by scientists and many experienced pool technicians which is all similar to this one I found in 3 seconds after reading your post: "Low calcium also...

Thanks for sharing that with me / us. A lot of conflicting info weather vinyl liner needs balanced calcium water. Personally I think it does. I think you do too because you put it in to balance the calcium in the water in a vinyl liner pool! Why else would you do that... I see your pool was...

Thanks for that duraleigh, But...That is Not true: that "Calcium essentially never goes away in a pool.....it continues to build to excess causing you more problems"...You don't drain 10" -12" out of your pool every winter to winterize like we do in the northern 2/3 of the country. That's likely...

Thanks for that, But... Vinyl Manufacturer recommends 200-400 ppm calcium range and Hayward also recommends that range with their heater. (which I have). TFP school mentions possible problems with plumbing that I'm not too worried about. Also not sure about other info I've read / heard that low...

Is that question a test? :cool: As you should / know being in the industry calcium hardness is suppose to be at 200-400 ppm - too much = scaling - too little = corrosive. I'm curious, what is the best answer you have regarding the information and question I posted?

HELLO, I am looking to use calcium chloride pellets to increase my calcium levels. I have seen SWI Excel 50 has 94-97% cal chlor. Prestone which is also made by SWI is around 80% according to the tech person there. Pool Mate claims 100% but that is likely impossible. These all sound good and...

Thanks for that. This is the question better asked: I am wondering if it would be best to sequester copper (strip test reading approx. 1.0) prior to doing a 2 gal @ 12.5% liquid sodium hypochlorite shock to bring chlorine up to 2-3. It is now about 0. Sequester copper first / now - liquid...

Thanks for that. I am wondering if it would be best to sequester copper (strip test reading approx. 1.0) prior to doing a 2 gal @ 12.5% liquid sodium hypochlorite shock to bring chlorine up to 2-3. It is now about 0. The water is clear right now, 5 days ago, the 15th added 2 quarts of blue seal...

Thanks, I ordered the Jacks ID Kit for tomorrow delivery. RE: "manage water with copper" You mean what is already there, correct? I canned the orbs / clor no mores and will not likely be using them nor the frog copper and silver mineral system, . Both seem to be more of a headache for me so...

I read the Pool School Metal in water. Do you think I should add sequestrant / metal out now or later? Yesterday am chlor= 0 to .5 Alk = 80 PH = 7.5 cyacid = 50 (Copper strip test = .5 to 1.0 ish) Curious if you have experience with the Jacks magic products and id kit? Or - Who makes the best...

Thanks, No I did not know the algaecide has copper. The orbs have copper sulfate pentahydrate 99.0% They dump an initial chem into the water then copper plates within the housing with holed ionize water passing through. when in skimmers. I removed them 2 days ago. The test kit is Taylor 2005...

Hello and Help, I put 2 orange orb/clor no more, (orange is for 20,000 gals) in my pool 7/8/16 and noticed a small staining spot at bottom of wall where it start sloping down to the deep end within a day or two. I think it's from copper. When first used PH 7.8 Alk 90 Chlor .5 - I removed the...
