    I have to K2006 from last fall so I think the reagents should still be usable. I plan on testing everything as soon as the water is delivered. 4 truckloads from a local water tower, but I'm not sure which one. Thanks, Ben! I just made my signature. So exciting!

    Maybe Ben can change your username to "FormerBromineUser." You'll be really glad you made the switch!

    This site wouldn't let me reply but I've figured it out. Will recompose my questions.

    WaterMom, great suggestion!!!

    Already I have a question. Arg! Thought I'd have my K2006 out already...but:

    The pool guys told me that they are not installing my new pump until Thursday or Friday so my new water will sit until then. I told them that I was nervous about that because I am leaving town on Friday and won't return until Monday morning and that I didn't want to come home to a green pool! They told me not to worry because they include start-up chemicals when they do a new liner and water..... Surprise!
    They use BioGuard products and my best guess as to what they will use are:
    1.) Super Soluble, Burn Out 3, or Burn Out 35 for chlorine
    2.) Pool Magnet for metals
    3.) Algae All 60

    Should I tell them no? Should I say yes to some and not to others?

    In a panic here....See post above for details. My new water is looking bad. It is brown-tinted from what I think is iron. The water is all well water either from my hose (with MetalTrap attached) or from municipal wells. I have researched the Metals forum and can't seem to find answers. I know the pool guys will dump a ton of Pool Magnet into it tomorrow if I don't tell them no.
