    Cloromax in pool

    I'm thinking it's a no go then. It says "keeps whites brighter longer" on the label. I already put some of it in my pool. I haven't noticed any bubbling or slimyness though so hopefully I'm good.

    Testing water for autofill

    Okay thanks for the reply guys. I will have to look into it more. Is there anyway to tell if the water in potable or not by testing it? It's definitely free though, I have been using it to water my 4000sf of grass area with no affect on the water bill. :D
