New User with new liner

Thanks Big Dave for your input. When I looked on the Aquachem container it said sodium dichloro-s-triazinetione 58.2% Other ingredients 41.8%. Other could include almost anything including copper. Looked at their website and couldn't get any clarification on what the "other" was. I will definitely read up on here and hopefully be able to enjoy the pool with not alot of hassle.

The "good" dichlor is 99% with 55-57% chlorine. I just can't guess what the other 41.8% is in the Aqua-chem you've got. It may be innocuous, it may make your pool harder to control. I just don't know. Dichlor with copper is usually proud with names like "dual action" or "deep blue" or "mineral enhanced". All junk in my opinion.

I don't now see a problem using the stuff you have - but (here's the rub) I don't really know what else might be in there. You'll need a little more than that 10 pounds of ??? to get to a reasonable CYA so use it if you can't give it away. If your neighbor wants it - give it to him and buy the good stuff.
