I've got used to checking where the products are coming from when I see a large shipping fee and long delivery.
That isn't always the case as I have had some stuff from Japan with free postage.
I suppose that in the USA the market is so large that you can get everything in your home market without having to look abroad

Does anyone have an idea to the time scale to get the pool rebalanced?
It will be used at 4pm Monday and then again Saturday 10am
I have all the chemicals and just need a time slot
It really depends on what your pool looks like now. Also, what your numbers are at. Please post these and we can be a lot more helpful.

I don't have my Taylor test kit delivered yet but with my Aquachek meter and strips
Chlorine 0.6
PH 7.1
TA 143
Temp 30° C or 86° F
It should only take 3-4 days from start to finish for the AA treatment. Day 1 is AA treatment, slowly raise FC to min day 2, slowly raise FC to target day 3 and finish it up day 4.
It is always safe to swim when
FC is above min and below shock level for your CYA, Chlorine CYA Chart
PH is 7.2 to 7.8
Water is clear
Thanks
That seems as I shall have enough time
I wasn't sure whether it was days or weeks

I have just started the AA treatment and it's working as some is visibily clean
The only problem I see is that where I have poured the AA along the sides is it is cleaning in streaks and leaving some stain still there especially at the top
Will this dissipate overnight as the water mixes more with the AA

Yes. The first time I did it, I wondered the same thing you are. When I woke up the next day the stains were gone.
Thanks for that I was getting a bit concerned albeit I was pleased that something was moving the stains
You can help things along by using your pool brush to scrub the stains above the water line and below.
I still have some stubborn stain, if I rub a sock filled with AA in it, it disappears. This is OK at the top but further down a problem
I have used a kilo (2.2lbs) of AA and a quart of Sequestrant in a 10K gallon (UK)
I have ordered some more AA

I have managed to clear up most of the staining now especially rubbing a sock filled with AA over the persistant stains
Regards raising the PH, I use the Aeration method, will this work with getting the pool in balance
