    If you are a dealer you will need to register as such, display it in your signature, or risk being banned. Ben will be happy to explain the rules. Several pool professionals are welcome, contributing members, as long as they don't see this as an advertising and marketing opportunity.

    Arch Chemicals, which also owns HTH, does not have a very good reputation here, having unnecessarily added copper to its tri-chlor tabs, replaced its 5-way drop test kit with worthless strips, and having replaced its plastic-wrapped Duration Tabs with 68% chlorine with 48% phony Duration tabs that dissolve in 12 hours.

    That, of course, is my humble opinion of Arch Chemicals.

    Default No salesman, no spam

    "Sounds like the old Duration tabs--now that hth has screwed them up by removing the capsule I wonder if these "pool life"brand tabs still exist? Any idea who made them? I'd love to find them somewhere.....

    The lady asked a question, so i went outside and checked the bucket
    that they were in. I found the website on the side and found that
    they have a dealer locator. No blood, no foul.

    Paperman:

    If you are not a dealer then, as you say, no harm, no foul. And thanks for the info.

    It would be nice to learn the Arch at least still makes the GOOD ones for SOMEBODY! They and WalMart don't seem to be able to agree who is responsible for the 48% effective chlorine becoming the "standard". At least it's not clear to me. Wally world has SO much purchase power they can force companies to change their products even to the detriment of the supplier and the consumer.
