Oh my this has taken such an ugly turn which was certaintly never intended my me. I was not trying to offend anyone and am sorry that I did. My actual point about walmart was in regards to the fact that Ben had rudely replied to me even after I had done what he reccommend, and I felt it was based on the fact that I was using a pool store where he chooses not to shop. I was pointing out that for my own PERSONAL reasons I choose not to shop at Walmart. I made no remarks on the fact that anyone on here does use that choice. I understand reading it back as to how my words would definately be construied that way, and in retrospect I should have phrased it better. Point being who cares where you get the items but for some reason it seems people do.

Janet- I did not intend to post twice, I understand it is being moderated. The site had logged me out and when I logged back in it said it did not go through to please wait 5 seconds and resumbmit so I did. Sorry you had to delete one.

thank you again chem geek for actual information which is all I have been seeking from the beginning. That is actally very helpful since I am losing between 6-9ppm per day even with my high stabilizer. Something is causing this and I am determined to figure out what. I guess I will just have to do it someplace else.
