Na di-chlor vs bleach cost

[duraleigh]

Hi, Hal,

I am not downplaying the benefits of bleach, but one of the main selling points is cost.... Now that appears to be in jeopardy....

I have never felt cost was a main selling point.....nor have I seen that advocated on this forum by virtually anyone. It's the simplicity and easy access that make it viable for a very large majority of pool owners.

I completely agree in your case it makes sense .......Bleach makes sense for a much larger portion of pool owners. SWG's make sense for some....not for others. Tri-chlor has a place as well....just not for everyone.

IMHO, cost has a minor role in using bleach.

PS - Some time ago, I simply used weight to equate bleach and something else (can't remember...maybe cal-hypo). I assumed bleach weighs 8 lbs/gallon so 6% of 8 lbs - .48 lbs and so on and so on......I question the accuracy of that calc but it might be a valid comparison.
