    We sell a 2.5 gal refill for $3.69.
    DANG!!!!, Evan! I wish you could ship that to me!!! I paid $17 for 5 gallons--that's about what you pay up here. So it might WELL have been the 14% I measured.

    Vedddddy Interesting!

    I realized if you add 1 ml to 10 liters (as in refilling a 2 liter Coke bottle 5 times) you'll get the same results, too. Just keep it all metric--and it will be easier.

    BTW, I recently discovered that they sell spigots for the carboys. What a difference they make! Worth every nickel!

    See, there ARE some decent pool stores! (we are an Ace Hardware with a huge pool department! We even sell above ground poolsl....Real ones by Cantar and Zodiac!) (and if ANYONE refers to me as the 'Helpful Hardware Man' they will be very sorry!)
