I am by no means upset by your posts. I just find it sad when someone turns their pool into a science experiment instead of enjoying it as a pool. But to each his own. As far as it goes, Richard will be the first to admit that his experience is with his own pool and his info is mostly theoretical or based on other's research studies. Also, as far as it goes, I probably have a better understanding of Richard's posts then most people do since I have a similar chemistry background. I believe Richard has made some very valuable contributions to pool water chemistry and our understanding of it. However, how to best impliment them in a practical way can only be found out by experimentation and empirical evidence, IMHO. Also, if you have followed his posts on here and other forums from the beginning as I have you will know that he remains flexible and changes things as new data emerges.
Realize that not all theoretical aspects of pool chemistry work out in practice. Case in point, Iodine looks to be an ideal sanitizer on paper but when it was actually tried (Iodine based sanitizer sytems were tested many years back between the late 50's to the 70's) the disadvantages became very apparant and were far too numerous to make it a viable system.
