BBB Method Challenged !

[waterbear]

Well, the guy who runs thatforum is a PB. I have met and talked with many PBs and even had to blow the whistle on one more than once because of how they were setting up a very popular SWG and I was getting a lot of customers with black algae and other problems! The manufacurter of this SWG was very quick in setting up training for them (not that it does much good, IMHO.)
Anyway I am rambling. My pointis while PBs know how to build and repair pools most are TOTALLY clueless when it comes to basic water chemistry and pool care. Look how many of them 'slug' acid to lower TA and 'walk' acid to lower pH even though that was disproved in the JSPSI many years ago! (And THIS forum has the proper way to lower TA!)

Consider the source. Or better yet, ask them how they feel about clorinating with sodium hypochlorite and if they say it's not a good thing ask them why so many commercial installations use it almost exclusively for chlorination and shocking! Then ask then how liquid chlorine and laundry bleach are different besides the strength!

I LOVE the part where he said 'actual salt has a pH of arounde 13'! This guy obviously has never had a chem course in his life!!!!!!! Salt has a pH of 7 when dissolved in water and no pH when in solid form! (pH is a property of solutions.)
THIS is a prime example of why the method on here works and the junk this guy is pusing doesn't! What is on here is based on scientific facts. What he is pushing is based on BS and ignorance!
