    I did not figure that it had lead in it, but wanted to just check. He is a longtime pool man in town. Does not have a store anymore, but constructs pools and fixes them. He was not trying to sell me products, just replaced my lightening stuck pool pump. Your comments rests my mind though, even though I did not think so.

    A pool store guy told me yesterday that copper is the way to go for algaecide and that it doesn't turn hair green, chlorine does. At that point I shut my mouth.
