Baquacil usage?

[schirico]

Okay,

I have had pools for several years and have learned a tremendous amount from these venerable pages!

I just had an in ground kidney shaped pool - about 17,000 gallons put in and the construction company started me on Baquacil. I know I know, I didn't know about these pages before then, so based on the fact that it's already there, I'm determined to give it the old college try.

If you are interested, I will keep everyone here up to date on the progress of the pool.

I do have a question or two though. The pool company, and brochure are recommending the following:

1. Algistat & Santizer: Polyiminoimidocarbonly-iminoimidocarbonly-iminohexamethalenehydrochloride.

Is this POLYQUAT?

2. Algicide: Ammonium Chloride

3. Oxidizer: Hydrogen Peroxide.

That's it, they also recommend backwashing with Sand Filter Cleaner 2x per year, adn the sand should last 3 years.

I don't see PHMB anywhere in here.....no Biquinide......
