Way too frequently, threads like this show up that distract from the intent of the forum.....a fairly simple way to take care of your pool without throwing away a lot of money.

While it may be interesting to a VERY select few, it is not to the vast majority of people who come to the forum seeking advice. Rather, it seems more like the OP is seeking a platform for pontification.

Many of these posters are short lived on the forum. Given the argumentative nature of the OP's second post, The China Shop may not be his final destination.
