Well, I suppose it's not an outright lie -- when you pour it in, you are not increasing orthophosphates. But it eventually becomes orthophosphates, so it's effectively a lie . . . but then I guess that's what passes for "good marketing": lying effectively! ;)
I don't mind you mentioning poolgeeks, but I don't want them recommended. We are going to have to cobble out a policy on this, but I haven't had time yet. In general, I don't want to recommend companies that haven't been 'vetted' -- BBB checked, physical address checked, etc.
Also, I *prefer* to use Amazon, since I get a commission that helps support the forum (and me), all things being equal. By that I mean, if Amazon and PoolGeek have the same product for about (+/- 5%) the same price, I want to use an Amazon link rather than PoolGeek.
However, there's another issue. I already hate the Taylor guide that comes in the K2006 -- we end up 'solving' problems that that 'guide' creates. With Amazon, I don't have to worry about them giving bad advice, or telling folks dumb stuff we then have to go read, and come back and explain. With PoolGeek, we would have to do EXACTLY that:
http://www.poolgeek.com/test/ As SOON as we started linking to them, we'd be answering questions, "Is that safe? PoolGeeks says 10 ppm is HIGH!" :mad: :mad:
Yeah, that's what we need. NOT!
I looked at their site -- it's very, very nice. Lots to learn about how to do better here. But, their pool info is the same old, same old that we fight year after year. And, after seeing that, I will say -- without ANY reservation or guilt -- that I do NOT want direct links or recommendations there, except as a last resort.
