Pristiva Primer and Activator

[PoolDoc]

Well Geoff, that's a better response than I expected.

But, unfortunately it's still a non-substantial response. And, until you provide actual data -- EITHER concerning the make-up and mode of operation of your product OR of field performance testing, the only possible counsel we can offer our members here is that Pristiva has done nothing publicly to support its claim of "solid performance data".

When you are ready to actually share that "solid performance data", and let us evaluate just how solid it is, we will continue to warn our members that they are better off leaving pool industry "mystery chemicals", like Pristiva's products, on the pool stores' shelves.

And there is NO way, we are going to encourage people to visit your site, which is long on 'sizzle' but short on 'steak'. Rather, we will use your site as currently configured (May 2012) as a masterful example of how pool company's can SOUND like they are saying something, which actually, they are saying nearly nothing at all.

Geoff,
I will add my simpler take: If I don't know what is in a product I put into my pool, it doesn't go into my pool.
Coca-Cola may have a secret formula but it doesn't have secret ingredients. That is the object of the Pure Food And Drug Act signed by Teddy Roosevelt. So the analogy isn't valid.

When it comes to what I will recommend to our users, it is very simple. If I don't know what it is, I do not recommend it. For me, that is a line I simply will not cross. My children get into my pool, ingest some of the water, as we all do, and I will not have them ingest any unknown chemical. How well the product works, all the assurances of safety you can provide do not matter to me.

If I don't know what is in it, I won't use it. I won't recommend it.
