I couldn't really decide where to post this so please move if this is not the right place :) Does anybody have any experience with this product or any comment on the science behind it? http://www.nanostick.com/nanoTitanium.php Thanks HW

I'll pull some numbers tonight and post them... As for the "100 reasons..." thats a long list :) I think the cloudiness is definitely related to the treatment, it showed up within hours not gradually over days. I just realized I omited one thing, about an hour before adding the second batch...

Doesn't "feel" like algae :) I forgot to mention that I did put 5oz of 60% polyquat in the week before, and the week of treatment, as a preventative measure for this. The cloudiness was present before I added any chlorine and was white not green (or any other algae color). I have had algae...

I went ahead with the ascorbic acid stain treatment and added 4lbs of acid 2lbs at a time with two days in between (pool stats in the first post). PH was about 7.2 when I started and seems to have remained fairly steady. The first application did improve things but not as much as I had hope so...

I accidentally bought 1L of Spa Metal Free instead of just regular Metal Free, I can't find any reference to the contents but I am assuming they are identical? Can anybody advise? Thanks

I am about to embark on the process of stain removal using ascorbic acid but I would like to first understand what part of the process necessitates keeping the PH low? Is the acid not effective unless the PH is low? Is it to allow the sequestering agents to work (the Metal Free I am planning...

Hi, Out pool was built about 9 years ago (we have only had the house for about 4) and it has what I suspect to be the original Kreepy still. I started having to replace parts (other than the footpad and pleat) last year and seem to be replacing the whole thing piece by piece! I was looking...

Hi David, This is a 15k gal. gunite/plaster pool and the discoloration has been there since we moved into the house about 4 years ago (I _think_ it has become worse but I couldn't swear to that) FC: 14 (pretty much zero when I add the tablets) CC: 0 PH: 7.6 CYA: 50 TA: 130 CH: 300 (I think)...

I wonder whether the fiberglass and liner has too little mass to absorb enough heat to matter? In a gunite/plaster pool there is a lot more mass to absorb (and store) heat.

I am no scientist but... I believe it is a fact that a darker color will absorb more heat and reflect less, the opposite being true of a lighter color. I would therefore speculate that a darker color will absorb more heat that will then be released into the water through convection/conduction...

I'll cut to the chase first and add detail if needed :) I applied some ascorbic acid (in the form of crushed Vit C tablets) to a couple of discolored areas in my pool (the discoloration is over most of it but this was just a test). The areas that were treated all took on a grey discoloration...
