    So, Should I use softened water?

    Thanks a bunch.

    I'm on a well with lots of nasty things (Iron, sulfur, super high Alk and who knows what else... ), and I filled my pool with the water from my treatment system and I've been totally happy! I have several filters and a salt softner, so if it's possible, I would sure consider it!

    I'll give the plumbing shop a call tomorrow about the cost of the cal-hypo well shock pellets.

    BTW, Adobe has come out with the new version of its Flash Player, v 10.1. The security issue reported a week ago no longer exists—so they say. PDF files with embedded .swf files should be safe again as should YouTube vids and other Flash content.
