    Default Re: The use of Lithium Shock

    Will do, Ben. I will post it here, too. Unique Transaction ID # (deleted by mod).
    It says it is 'unclaimed'

    Yea, Sam's club only had the Clorox (Our Sam's club is an experimental 'mini' version).
    Still, at 2.49, it is cheaper than lithium. One thing the Taylor Test kit said about Lithium shock (Yes, it arrived Today !) is that Lithium puts the 70% inert ingredient to add to Your TDS.

    I am curious and intrigued about the DE; so the sand WILL catch the DE? So I add it to the filter until the pressure goes up a pound or so, vacuum, then backwash; which will also rid of the DE? Then at that point, I can add some more DE and leave it there until I need to vacuum/backwash again? I guess I suppositioned that DE was too fine to be catched by the sand. I certainly don't want DE suspended in the pool water as it is very abrasive to the eyes. If I only need a cup or so, that expense will be less than vacuuming out several hundred gallons of treated water onto the lawn, I suppose.

    That's interesting that the tri-chlor tabs add acid; that explains Me having to dump Borax into the water once a week at the rate of a 1/2 lb. or so; just another added bonus of using something else.

    I will post My test results Tonite or Tomorrow; hopefully tonight.
