    The amount on the label of 60% PolyQuat is the right amount to use. An initial dose for a clean pool is 9 ounces per 10,000 gallons and subsequent weekly doses are 3 ounces per 10,000 gallons. For your purposes of preventing algae during a stain treatment, use at least the initial dose amount. It's a viscous product so distribute it evenly with the pump running.

    Thanks for the advice...now to actually find some :s

    Are any of the newer products any good or is polyquat still really the "one and only" and I just need to be diligent about finding some?

    Thanks

    Polyquat is still the one and only.....but you have to be careful because a lot of places are starting to mix it with all sorts of other stuff and call it better.....

    And, if you go through the Amazon link in mine, Jan's or Ben's signature lines and then navigate to that product on the Amazon site, the Pool Forum will make a little money on the sale! Anything you buy from Amazon as long as you go through our Amazon link will make a little $$$ for the forum!

    Oh *&$$%#, wish I had known that before I place the order...although the Amazon links in your sig seems to just go to the Taylor website which has it's own order/cart pages?

    That's weird. I just checked the link and it went to Amazon where it listed Amato Industries as the seller (which is good since their website has been down for a day or two.) At any rate, when you click the link and get to Amazon, from there you can search for other products and navigage away from the test kit page. And, anything that is bought earns the forum a little $$$$.

    I've been experimenting with alternative Amazon links, and seem to have found a pattern that works, and that I can use directly on the forum. I'll have to get cracking on that.
