Boy these companies are making it difficult to find trichlor that doesn't have copper added. Last summer K-Mart still had pucks without copper, but this year I had to go to the pool store, and even then I spent 15 minutes picking up buckets and looking at the ingredients. I just need a little bucket to last me through most of the summer!

As always, my CYA shot down to nothing over the winter and we already have a couple of weeks vacation planned so I'm going to need a few pucks around here and there. The girl at the store tried to convince me that copper is an algecide... and that it was actually good for my pool. She didn't have a response when I asked her why I would want to put copper in a pool that worked perfectly well without it.

I finally found a bucket in the back reject area of the store, but it doesn't bode well if I need a second bucket or for next year.
