Hi JKoch;

You can't post links yet -- I modded your post in without the link, and then checked. Seems OK and UGA.edu security should be OK.

But, there is a MAJOR insecurity in Adobe Reader and PDF files that is not fixed. So here's my caution to ALL readers. Before you read ANY PDF file off the Internet (even from here!), turn OFF JavaScript in Acrobat reader

Open Acrobat, and go to Edit | Preferences | Javascript \ UNCHECK "Enable Acrobat Javascript" and that's it. At least till you update Acrobat. But Adobe's profit plan for Acrobat depends on 'features' that Javascript makes possible, so they re-enable it behind your back with every update.

Anyhow here's the link for the PDF from UGA.edu:

What do those pellets cost? How fast would they dissolve in a skimmer?

Pellets like those could help a LOT of people with metal problems.

Okay, here are some more details:

Product name: Pro Chlor-Pel
Mfg: Pro Products LLC, Ft. Wayne, IN
Active ingred. cal-hypo 70%
Inactive (not specified) 30%
Pellets wt.: 1 g (0.035 oz)
Contents: 2.27 kg (5 US pounds)

Cost ~ $32 at the plumbing supply store locally.

I do not know how quickly they dissolve in a skimmer basket. They're dang fast when they hit the well water, you can hear them hiss and fizzle.
