Thanks chem geek. If those numbers are right, I would only need about an ounce of that product for my situation. Sounds like it may be too concentrated for normal residential pool use.

You need to remove 1000 ppb from 18,000 gallons and for their product one quart (32 fluid ounces) removes 10,000 ppb from 10,000 gallons so you need (32 fluid ounces) * (1000 ppb / 10,000 ppb) * (18,000 gallons / 10,000 gallons) = 5.76 fluid ounces, NOT one ounce. Their pint has 16 fluid ounces so has more than you need, but it's not extraordinary and I don't think you'll find a less expensive bottle of another product.
OK, my mistake. I reversed the 18/10 in my quick calculation. A couple quick questions: does this product contain a clarifier? Or will I need to buy a separate product for that? Where can I actually buy it? The orendatech.com site does not appear to have any sales functionality. I checked Amazon but they only sell 5 and 15 gallon sizes (a wee bit more than I need). A few pool sites appear to offer the smaller sizes, but not at the price you mentioned. Thanks.
Chem Geek may be on later with his pricing although $25 may have been just an approximation. I have been looking to purchase some also. The cheapest I can find online for 1 pint is $23.91 plus $9.99 shipping for a total of $33.90. There is a store in McKinney (near Dallas) that has it in stock for $28.95 plus $2.39 tax totaling $31.34.
Thanks. I'm not too far from McKinney, so that might be an option to get it into my pool quicker.

That's even closer than I thought. Thanks again.
You are welcome. Glad to help. I am just trying to help out where I can with PoolDoc semi-away.
If you enter "orenda pr 10000" (including the quotes) YourTown, TX into google, example - "orenda pr 10000" Plano, TX - you might find it right around the corner from you.
Good luck!

It does not have a clarifier and yes it will cloud the water but that will filter out so you'd only use a clarifier if you were impatient. If you want a clarifier, a couple of good ones are GLB Clear Blue and BioGuard Polysheen Blue.Quote:
