    Thank you both for your replies.

    Well I suppose I should have known better, being that I have wasted money before on Phosfate Remover, but stupid is as stupid does.

    On the brighter side the ORP now for some strange reason registers higher and seems to fluctuate less through the day, this might be due to my lowering the pH to 7.3 from 7.4. Also I ran the pool for 12 hours after I poured in the treatment, this equates to a 3.5 turn of the pool and that might have helped.

    So now I have a somewhat expensive pool filter liquid.

    I will try not to mess around anymore, at least for the next week or so.

    So I guess that means you were suffering from a all to common human delusion!

    No I do not think that is it. The cigarettes here in Hawaii are wayyyyyyyyyyyy stronger than the mainland kind and after you get to 50 they are wayyyyyyyyyyy stronger still. Especially if you only inhale them and dont smoke them a la Bill. I loveeeeeeeeeee my phosfate remover. Wow those little faces of yours keep changing color that's neat.

    Aloha

    If you believe this you will believe anything. I think this is what the pool stores hope you are doing. It is the only logical answer as to why one would buy this stuff!

    Anyone can be ignorant of the information they need. There's no shame in that--we've all done it.

    Stupid is when someone doesn't learn from it!

    And that's clearly NOT you!
