Went to the pool guy and got a quart of Bioguard Remedy metal magnet, 18 bucks. It is diphosphonic acid-based. Put it in, started circulating, and the water was blue and clear as could be in two hours. Just wish there was a cheaper substitute, alas, pool guy wins again.

Bleach calc for MAC? Jason: I have been using your pool calculator since April and really love it--you are to be commended. I guess what I need to do is just start logging my bleach use.....which I have just figured out, thanks to the calculator...is probably the best way for me to optimize...

Is there a BLEACH CALC for MAC? Man, I lust after a bleach cal for MAC.....is there one anywhere? Otherwise, is there a good table accessible somewhere that approximates gallonage, CYA and daily clorox requirements?
