    Default Re: Seapool? Nope - C-Pool!

    right off their websites FAQ:
    "Is the C-Pool Mineral Treatment safe?
    Yes. C-Pool Mineral Treatment is registered by the Canadian Government as a Mineral Algaecide for pools and spas."

    Empahsis mine! Not once do they claim it is a sanitizer.

    This page is good for laughs. In one sentence they say the 'mineral' in c-pool ( is that short for copper pool or cesspool?) kills algae and in the next say they are essential for plant growth. Last time I checked algae was a plant.

    Deja Vu, does anyone remember SimplyBluePools

    Check out some of the other products that Debmar sells! Besides buckets of copper sulfate they also sell electromagnets for horses, dogs, and people and silicone breast enhancers (I think they call them 'falsies').

    The only "pool product" they sell is c-pool. I think that says it all (along with the falsies!)


    EDIT: Here is the original patent for c-pool.
    As you can see it's just a mixture of copper sulfate, alum, soda ash, and salt. It's just an algaecide/floc combo.

    This page from the patent shows a real lack of chemical understanding of the product, especially when it states near the top of the third page "Salt crystals can be added as a source of chlorine."

    I find it interesting that this product is only sold in Canada and not the US (although we do have the similar EZ Pool and Pristine Blue "systems").
