AquaSmarte Delivery System?

[aylad]

The major problem with continuing to use the copper system is that when you get high levels of copper in the pool, you start to get stains when you shock it, and green hair and nails when you swim in it. If you anticipate switching to BBB method, I'd do it now before the copper gets to a point where you have to use metal sequestrant to keep it from staining your pool.

Aylad,
Are you sure the King Tech Aqua Smarte contains copper? I only ask b/c their websites states only silver and limestone are in the pack.

I only ask out of curiosity. I have no doubt silver isn't desirable either.

ePoolUser, I have since converted entirely over to BBB and my water has never been clearer. You are probably right about my CYA level contributing to going through the bac-pacs so quickly so I did add some stabilizer. As far as the mineral system, I took it out as well. I had begun noticing that my return was starting to get a rust-colored film on it that I assume was copper. After removing the Mineral pack the film has not returned. I agree that a low chlorine amount was desirable in the beginning, however after reading through the forum, I believe that it is not as sanitary! I took back my remaining 5 bac-pacs to the pool store and got around $72.00 and some change for them. So that's about $14.00 or so each. Too expensive in my opinion!
