Thats odd. I mean it makes sense but last week when I added 5lbs it didn't even budge. Water stayed pristine clear. CYA was over 200 but... IDK if that has anything to do with it.Cal hypo will cloud your water due to the calcium. It should clear in time.
I was going to ask... Bleach really has Julian dates on it?Home Depot has 10% HDX brand. Check the date code printed on box, year + julian date. Example 19275 is October 1, 2019.
Yes. It is the bottle date. Bleach degraded over time. The higher the concentration the faster it degrades.I was going to ask... Bleach really has Julian dates on it?
This is quite the education.Yes. It is the bottle date. Bleach degraded over time. The higher the concentration the faster it degrades.
Thanks will check them out!If you go to Mantua hit up the pool store. My last 5 gal was still 12.5 or better 2 weeks ago. they keep it in the store. 2 1/2 7 5 gal.
Or try Budds, they treat it like its hazardous there. Plastic bags to return in.
I know the Leslies in Wash Twp keeps it inside too.
Thank you for that link. I just read it. Now the question is, what in the heck is in this winterizing kit that I have here. I bought it about a month ago in prep before I started this journey because it is what I had always done. So, breaking that trend I want to make sure I have the right stuff. Problem is, the bottle and bag in this kit do not have any info on them as to what is the ingredients.
It definitely doesn't. Soon as stores open, going on a Poly hunt! I guess I add this while filter is running for a couple of hours then close? Dosing instructions on bottle will probably say so but figured I'd ask.If it does not say Polyquat it probably is not.
Thanks Kim. I really appreciate that and very much appreciate all the help and information on this site. I plan on staying and being active because not only will I have this pool for at least 1 or 2 more years but we plan on doing an in ground and thats when I will be having A LOT more questions and funEd, I just read through this thread and have to say I really enjoyed it! You are awesome! It was so nice to see someone who was so quick to learn the ins and outs of great pool care. Well done everyone that helped him out and well done on him following directions and being willing to ask questions! I can't wait to see this pool when you open it. I hope you stick around and see if you can help others. In doing so you will learn even more! Pick some thread and just read them. That is the best way to learn new things!
