"Aqua Pill"

I'm not considering using, just posting in this folder cause the product is probably junk.

I've seen a few people rave about these "Aqua Pills" on social media, but I can't for the life of me find any documentation as to what exactly is in them:
AquaPill WinterPill Winterizing Pill for Swimming Pools

Here's the manufacturer's site:

0.1% Subtilisin

Not sure what it contains for the other 3 claims they make.

Not necessary if one closes their pool properly. Just a large dose of enzymes (not too useful in cold, deoxygenated pool water), clarifier (not much use without the filter running) and scale inhibitor (big whoop, not needed).

So basically a "pill" full of useless chemicals your chlorine is going to destroy the minute you open the pool. Good for the manufacturers wallet, not yours...

"Aqua Pill" Oh boy! The perfect magic bullet!

At last, I knew somebody would make one. Is it mixed with kool aid before drinking?

Both times I've opened my pool (only 3 years old) it's been a straight up swamp, despite adding algeacide and closing/opening 60 degree water. So I can see why there's a market for winter chems, the company I use to close my pool tries to sell me a similar overpriced elixer.

In my case the brief swampiness isn't that much of a burden. It clears up within hours of adding chlorine, and slamming is kinda fun anyway.

and slamming is kinda fun anyway.

Now, that's a sign of a "real" TFPer!
