    Like I said it was just several photocopied pages on waterchemistry with their logo at the top. Could not find them on the net and any references to plasticizers leaching out of vinyl liners that I found usually blamed acidic water conditions.
    I did find one reference on the net about fiiberglass in general on how soft water could have an effect on the glass (same as it can etch glassware that is washed in a dishwasher) but could not find anything specifically about cobalt other than it can leach out of the gelcoat but no conditions were specified. It is just that this is the first time that I have ever heard this and I was wondering if anyone else has ever came across it or is it just another load of bovine refuse.
