Is there an ideal cyanuric acid level?

Thanks guys...Great help as usual.

By the way. I have a Wanda The Whale coming this week...largely in part to your recommendation W.M. I rather enjoyed doing the vacuum work by hand last summer when it was warm enough to be in the pool. It did take a lot of time though and I'm hoping Wanda works like a charm.

I think you'll be pleased with Wanda. I actually have two different auto vacs. Wanda is good for walking around getting dirt and little stuff and my Polaris 65 is good at getting big stuff. I use the Polaris more in the spring when the trees are dropping lots of stuff into the pool and again in the fall when the leaves start dropping. The rest of the summer I use Wanda. Having said that, like you, I also enjoy vacuuming manually while in the pool. It does take awhile but in all reality, I can get the pool cleaner that way than using Wanda or Polaris. So, I still do it that way at times. But, Wanda is nice and I can be lazy and let her do the work! Let us know how you like it.

Very pleased thus far with Wanda. As long as the pump doesn't lose prime she runs for hours unattended...

Back on the CYA issue...

I decided to buy a smaller bucket of trichlor pucks...but I did not have a chance to go to Sam's club. I bought a 15 pound bucket of Robelle Jumbo (Slow dissolving) tabs. Now I'm worried after reading Ben's posts about many manufacturers using fillers. I'd like to list the ingredients as listed and confirm this product is okay. If someone with the knowledge could chime in that would be very helpful.

Ingredients listed as

Trichloro-s-triazinetrione*.....99%
Other Ingredients .................1%
Available Chorine.................90%

*trichloroisocyanuric Acid Dry

Thanks in advance. I know how busy you are moderating. I appreciate your time and help.

Okay...I think I answered my own question. I compared the Kem-Tek product to the Robelle product...same exact active ingredients so I think I'm okay with the Robelle product.

Bought it at Benny's (SE MASS) which is a smallish family owned department store...

No reply necessary unless I've missed something. Thanks in advance anyways cuz I know you probably took the time to read it.
