94% Trichlor?

[Watermom]

I tried to search some and couldn't find an ingredient label. I did find a contact page on their website. Maybe send them an email and ask for ALL the ingredients. If you can't find out, I'd be a little skeptical to use them but that is just my opinion. Please let us know what you find out.

Sent the email. We shall see.

I was sort of afraid of this:

Thank you for contacting PoolTime.

The rest are pH buffers and sequestering agents.

That doesn't tell us much

Can you take it back? If you can, I think I would. I don't like the idea of putting unknown substances that they won't specifically tell you about into my pool. How about you?

Agreed, thank you. I think I was just looking for this answer from one of you guys.

BTW, I'm the one in this sticky - http://www.poolforum.com/pf2/showthread.php?t=1180 - that was convinced early on that the BBB method was the only way to go. My pool always looks like that last picture in that thread; thanks to the awesome info in this forum

Thanks again!!

Those pictures are awesome and have been viewed by MANY people. I was the one who stickied them at the top of the forum.

Good luck!

Actually, the Pool Time products (made by Chemtura) are basically the same as the Bioguard and Aqua Chem products (and very similar to the Proteam trichlor products, which are made for Haviland by Chemtura).

These trichlor tablets contain borax as a buffer, which is not necessarily a bad thing. As far as I know Pool Time is only including copper sulfate in the Duo Tabs in addition to the borax buffer. All HTH dual action trichlor (Arch Chemical) tabs do contain copper.

Chemtura has made the MSDS for all their various lines difficult to get. You have to email them since many of their pool products are not in their online database.
