PB was here. Going to have one of their guys come look at the pump (and bring another just in case). They dropped Stain Ban in there. Said we should be swimming by thursday or friday!

I was just sifting through some of the manuals. Came across the intellibrite one... it has different color modes!!!! 4th of July is coming up!
Ok so the pool company put algeacide in my pool. Are there going to be any issues with switching to TFP method after they turn the pool over to me thurs/fri?
If I bring up cya to 40 and put LC in, is it going to get cloudy? Just wonder what's going to happen.

Not sure when pavers will get here... in the meantime this is what we got. All our heavy polywood stuff is still in boxes in our garage...
Great job keeping it here. It gets too confusing being in 15 of your threads. Changing the title will get some new eyes on it, plus those of us already following will get notifications. So well done !!
Should be no issues.
One way or another you will be fine. I can’t find the material spec list for the algecide 30 to see if it has copper in it. Even if it does, you need prolonged use of that sort of thing to approach problem levels. So, until somebody finds that it has plutonium in it, Your pool can handle one gallon of it. Or one gallon of chloromax bleach, etc etc.
the CYA won’t affect clarity at all. The LC may make the iron go a little green, but it won’t harm anything. If you don’t get some FC in there (and kept there courtesy of the CYA) you’ll have algae green instead. How much have you added so far ? Are you close and just topping off to 40, or did you aim for 20 and need 20 ?
Actually …….. I can kinda make out the ingredients on the algecide bottle and it looks ok with me zoom squinting.
Post clear pics of both when you get a minute.

No such product I can find called Stain Ban. More information on manufacturer, etc.
All I could find was a couple of pool store websites listing generic pool store kinda stuff like it’s ‘compatible with normal pool chemicals’.

Thanks everyone! I had issues trying to find it too... made me wonder if they bought in bulk years ago and are still working through their stash while maybe the company has rebranded under something else...
I jumped to a lot of conclusions there...
