I am new to Pool Magazine so thank for checking in to TFP.
I found a link to your on line magazine (I assume this is you) and read a current article featured two weeks ago by Natural Chemistry titled,
This title caught my attention right away. The article recommends the regular use of USEPA registered sanitizers and algicides. It also details water circulation/turnover and regular brushing but there is no mention of chlorine stabilizer or Cyanuric Acid and its relation to adequate sanitation levels for algae control. Are your articles reviewed by technical staff prior to publication? Do readers have an opportunity to comment or ask questions? Perhaps a moderator at TFP will move this exchange to a different forum so we can discuss the article and your magazine in more detail?

It's a good thing the scientist is wearing gloves; you wouldn't want to get any pool water on your hands.

I spent a bit more time perusing Pool Magazine - Pool News | Swimming Pool Industry News and learned of California's proposed Trichlor Tax Trichlor Tax Bill Postponed in California I have mixed feelings about this bill.
I also enjoyed the videos on the moving pool floor concept article.
This is an innovative concept for pools that was new to me. Many years ago we had indoor commercial pools downtown that were regularly covered and converted to dance floors.
I also liked the public pool expose detailing all the risky contamination you are likely to encounter. This is nothing new to a TFP regular but making the general public aware of this is doing a service and may help change public pool procedures. Maybe require a 60 second, 360 degree shower prior to suiting up. Infant swim diapers and the kiddy pool need a rethink also, yikes.
