Let us know what your results are . . . after the week is over. Actually, as long as you are happy with your pool store, you should stick with them.

Chemical mix and match -- a little advice from your pool store, and a little from here -- doesn't usually work well. If they have a good reputation, they've probably figured out how to make their goop work. We have not. And if you start trying to mix chemical advice from here -- based on plain generic chemicals -- you're likely to mess up their recipe for working with the exotic blends that pool chemical companies are trying to sell these days.

Best wishes for you and your new pool.
