Nice u read up on my troubles and fixes <S> .

It does work , I am living proof of it . I don't buy poly anymore either All I have to do so far this year is bleach , about 1.5 quarts of conditioner because when I refilled the pool alot ran out of the waste drain on the filter
. That's it , my alky is a bit high but I have a rubber liner and they say that's ok for me .

So much cheaper than last year and no headaches .

I get so mad at the store that sold me the pool . They never bothered to show me the "correct" way even after I asked . Just kept selling me stuff that would help them sell more product in the long run .
