Thoughts on Pool Time Stabilizer from Home Depot

[Sallie]

I need some stablizier. The one from Leslie's works and lasts, but it's pricey and seems to take a long time to dissolve (yes, I use the panty hose trick). Also, they're closed right now. Does anyone have any experience with the Pool Time from Home Depot?

Nope but I use the one from walmart at about $10.

The SDS on the Home Depot website indicates it's 99% Cyanuric Acid. So it's okay to use.

EDIT: For giggles... Leslies SDS lists 97-100% Cyanuric Acid. 4 lbs for $28.99

Home Depot price 5 lb $19.98

ctrav - $10 for 4# of CYA??? Wow -- never seen that low.

I am using the Pooltime this year. Works fine. Nothing magical about 100% CYA.

It was on sale so I picked up 1. Normal price is $14 and change. Totally agree nothing magical I started with this brand and it works so I stick with one brand as much as possible

I've used both the bioguard and the Home Depot CYA.
