You make a great point, Lisa: all pools are different. They are dynamic systems which change with the environment in which they live. Type of pool, type of equipment, fill water, use, weather, location, surroundings . . . the list is endless. As well, the way a pool is managed depends on the owner's knowledge, skill, understanding of pool water chemistry, attention to detail and so forth.

In the end, the goal we all strive for is to have well balanced water and that, ultimately, is the goal of this forum: to assist pool owners, via the sharing of experiences and observations by other pool owners, the coming together of myriad methods and techniques with the clear caveat that not everything works for everybody or every pool.

Thanks for helping me make that point.
