    I used some this year because the pool guy said to.

    I bought a spring opening kit from Leslie’s that included a bottle of Ultra Bright and I followed the directions to the letter.

    I can’t swear it did anything but my water is almost invisible.

    It claims to remove even the smallest particles. This intrigued me. How is this possible? So google tells me it somehow coagulates tiny particles into larger ones that can be caught by the filter.

    In my case, with a DE filter, I probably poured money down the rabbit hole.

    Ingredient PolydimethyldiallyammoniumChloride – what’s this? Aluminum salt?

    Polyquat's also good for this. It's the only additive I ever use. Not sure if your stuff, Manslick, is the same.
    Polyquat is poly [oxyethylene (dimethyliminio) ethylene (dimethyliminio) ethylene dichloride]

    How close is lead to gold?

    I doubt I'll use UB again.
