How Quats and Polyquat Algaecides work.

[Lenny]

Thanks for the explanation, Ben. The move originally seemed a bit heavy-handed to me but now I understand the logic.

I went and read the link to Heidi's thread and recall that she had another thread going as well ... and if memory serves me correctly the bottom of the pool was lined with debris which she did not get out for quite a while.

That being said, ( or recalled ) if the killing of the bloom and clearing of the pool co-incided with the addition of the polyquat, then it is possible that the polyquat is being given too much credit for the result.

Darned computers will crash and make us rely on grey matter. I'd love to have re-read her whole thread. Seems to me it went on for a long time last year, and then another 2 weeks this year. You gotta wonder.

Well, it seems some testing has begun.
