    Any reason why I should avoid Redmax bleach?

    182 oz RedMac 6.0% is one buck less expensive than 182 oz Clorox 6.15% at our local Lowes. I cannot find 12% anywhere in this backwater town [the greater New Orleans area] so I guess 6% will have to do. The appearance of the two products differs in that RedMax has a mildly greener cast compared...

    Taming the yard beast

    Here be the results of first use of my TF100. Am I the only one whose "pool stores" have never mentioned CYA concentration being to high? <I really don't need an answer for that> If overstabilization results in increased chlorine demand/use, then my boys over there must be milking a cash cow...
