Beautec - necessary and effects?

[shoot_the_goalie]

I got a couple of free bottles of Beautec, and wondering 1) is it necessary/good to use if I keep my CSI in check, and 2) how does it affect water chemistry? I’m leaning more to the “if it ain’t broke...”

FC: 10
CC: 0.0
pH: 7.7
CH: 375
TA: 80
CYA: 70
Salt: 3600
Temp: 83
CSI: -0.03

Thanks

TFP is all about adding only what the pool needs. If you don't know what it contains (I don't) and what it will do (I don't), then no reason to add it

Given the "Blue" in the name, that makes me think it could have copper in it (I am too lazy to look up the product and ingredients) and that is NEVER recommended to add to the water.

Sorry. I should have said Beautec, not Beautec blue. (the latter being inaccurate). Anyway, not going to add it as my pool chemistry is fine. Just more curious as to what it does and how it affects water chemistry.

Its something some pool builders sometimes use when filling new plaster pools the first time they get filled.

I was recommended to buy some today.its a pool scale stain scum cleaner. I have calcium deposits on the side of my salt water pool and this is designed to get them off and prevent others forming. There are some you tube videos to show how it works. I have also just bought a Tf100 test kit to get control of my pool chemistry. Expensive weekend . Methinks the test kit is a better investment?

I would agree. No little bottle is going to magically remove calcium scale.
