Hi,
I have always used Assist (20% sodium chlorite, 70% inert) but it is no longer available. It seems to be the only thing that gets rid of white water mold in a biguanide pool. I am seriously considering converting to chlorine but since this can take several weeks I believe I'll wait until opening next spring if I decide to do that. That being said, IF I change my mind and decide to stay with biguanide, I will need to find something that does the same job as assist did. I cannot continue to use biguanide if there is no chemical out there that controls the mold problem. I was told that Softswim Oxysheen replaced assist in being able to kill water mold, but apparently this is not the case since I am once again battling the cloudy water / mold issue. Prior to Oxysheen, I was told that CDX was the go-to chemical of choice to prevent mold. I've about had it with all this stuff, but at least need to get through the rest of the season. Is there anything I can use that would add the correct amount of calcium chlorite to the pool, since that did indeed seem to get rid of the water mold for the better part of a season. Thanks for any advice!
