Flavored Bleach

[Searcher]

Can you guys recommend a good dihydrogen monoxide test kit? I think I may have high levels in m pool.

Yes... Stick your finger in the pool and get "1" one drop on the tip of said finger. Place said drop on the tip of your tongue. If you do not pass out or go into convulsions, you are safe.

Please refer to proper MSDS documentation before handling this or any chemical, and inform staff on how to properly store and handle it, and what to do in case of spills: The MSDS for dihydrogen monoxide specify wearing "goggles" and "lab coat" when handling this chemical.

And in these tough economic times avoid wasting this chemical, it's not like it actually falls from the sky.

Using "taste" to confirm the presence (or absence) of this chemical should be fine however (the LD50 is >90 mL/Kg).

Other items that may be used as test kits for dihydrogen monoxide include cell phones, gps units, cats and computer keyboards.

I think Taylor is coming up with a titration test for dihydrogen monoxide also, April 1st of next year, if anyone knows anything about this please let me know.

Actually, there is evidence that under the right conditions atmospheric didhydrogen monoxide CAN fall from the sky in either liquid or solid form. There are two types of solid didhydrogen monoxide that can form (small soft flakes and hard round balls) and the ball form can cause extensive damage to houses, cars, other structures, and harm living things.

Hey! I just found this guy selling powdered dihydrogen monoxide, really cheap, about $5/lb. Just dissolve it in pool water......

A friend told me about a DHMO remover called(I think) Sci-Fun. I've been to all the educational toy stores in the area but can't find it anywhere. I searched the interweb and found a site put up by Edinburgh University that has nothing to do with pool care. I sure would like to clean out all that scary diydrogen monoxide and a positive educational experience is always welcome. Has anyone else heard of Sci-Fun or where I can get it?

I know this thread is old but I had to laugh when I read the title "flavored bleach"....mmmm sounds tasty!

Wonder how many readers will admit they googled "diydrogen monoxide" to find out what it is? (of course,.. I didn't)
