Ascorbic acid treatment...pool temp?

[chem geek]

That's a good point I hadn't thought of. When doing the Ascorbic Acid treatment, one normally uses PolyQuat 60 to prevent algae growth, but the cold water can help with that in place of (or in addition to) using an algaecide.

That was my intention--do it while we're not swimming, and little or no chlorine is needed this time of year. I think I'll compromise and do it when the pool hits about 70.

Do it when the water is 65, less chance of algae bloom and it will work just fine!

Ok. Thanks fellas.
