Elsie, go get 'em!!!

There are a number of things I wanted to comment on , but I'll stick to 3 for now:

It's NOT!! the same as dumping 40 lbs of table salt into the pool, table salt had iodine added to it by law in ~ the 20's to help prevent goiters - bleach does not have iodine or anything else added to it. Also the amount of salt in a gallon of sodium chloride is dependent upon it's % strength - a 1 gal bottle of 12.5% has ~ 3 lbs salt, therefore would have less than 1.5 lbs salt (unless the bleach makers are using sea water to dilute the product, in which case, the bleach would have > 5 lbs of salt per gallon. )

Don't worry about taking on a mod, they may have the ability to ban you and delete your posts, but if you are polite (ish) and right, and post the facts - they shouldn't be able to touch you (and if they banned you for telling the truth, is it really a site you want to be a member of...)

If this dude really wants to talk with someone who quasi-knows this stuff - direct him to me: was.ted@comcast.net (I check my e-mails ~ 3X a month... but patience is a virtue ) I'm in the same business as he is (20 years) and finally!! figured out how pools SHOULD be maintained!

Please keep us informed on how this goes, or if i should log on to that site and 'talk' to him
