Hello, I am such a newbie here I am embarrassed to write. But I have been reading Ben's Site and Forums from top to bottom for the past year. And when I saw your post I thought you might be interested in the section Ben has titled "Benefits of High pH Swimming Pools". You can find in on the main home page right under the section about "Avoiding summer ear infections".
Well there. There is my first post. I have been reading all of you verteran's posts, I feel like I have know you for years.
Enjoy your pool!
