    Default Ben's Best Guess Chart on Poolcenter!

    I received an email from poolcenter.com about new thinking on stabilizer use (of course here we know it's not new ) and they've quoted Ben's Best Guess Chart as well as info from our Chemgeek.

    Is this a sign that some stores are coming around?

    They incorrectly attribute me having to do with Ben's Best Guess Chart. Ben created that chart on his own. I used the implied algae inhibition levels from the chart to make my own with consistent HOCl level at TFP. Also, it's Bob Lowry, not Neil, and Bob's article had a lot taken from info I've written here and at TFP (I even reviewed his document before he published it).

    I am not impressed with that company. I recently went to buy something on line, and got their quote on shipping, but as soon as I actually put in the payment info, the shipping jumped $10--on an item that fits in an envelope! I did not complete the order. I don't like that tactic to plump up a lower price.

    I have ordered a few things from them. Fortunately I didn't have the issue you had.

    I am glad to see them putting Ben's Best Guess Chart out there.

    Do they have Ben and Rich's permission to republish that? If not then I believe it's not right to use it.
