    If you want to "mix your own" the 4th page of the patent description gives the formula!

    All you need (for every 10k gallons of water) is:
    10 oz. of "bluestone" (copper sulfate pentahydrate)
    1.5 lbs alum (used as floc in pools for years!)
    2 oz. of salt (according to the patent, sodium chloride is a chlorine source because it supplies Cl- ions! Scary! )
    1 lb soda (Arm and Hammer Super Washing Soda or some pH up)

    (Kids, don't try this at home!)

    LOL. That's case closed. I read the C-Pool website, and it is pretty reasonable and they are selling it as a supplement algecide and not to replace chlorine. I'll blame the messenger this time, and not the pool stuff company.

    This thread reminds me of a couple of images I've seen about arguing over the internet... Just sayin'.
