hi, I went to another pool store and they retested.....a store I trust.......no copper, chlorine is 5. They told me also that I dont need water hardner for a vinyl pool. I called the other store and they couldnt explain why they found such a high number for copper!!! I asked them if they just wanted me to buy more chemicals..!!!!!!!

*LOL*...I was at a pool store last week looking for some sodium bromide and to make a long story short the last thing the store owner said to me was "If it didn't work, or was bad for your pool we wouldn't sell it to you"...I gave her a look as if to say..."are you KIDDING ME????" and walked away...I am surprised Ben's kits don't test for metals....

I am learning alot from this site!!!!!! the pool store owner even told me dont worry about my cynaric acid level cause it is city water. I cant find my results and will go back on saturday. Does anyone know how much chlorine and how often I add to my pool to keep my level up? again, its 70,000 litres and its inground and vinyl. Is it o.k to swim if my chlorine is at 5? my kids are going nuts.................

you can swim at 5ppm...no problems....I had my pool over 12 memorial day weekend to kill some mustard algae i was treating with sodium bromide...but with temps over 80 all the kids were in... I just told the ones I liked not to wear new swimsuits...(in case i got some fade problems).

Happy to see they gave you this advice because it is not something you hear of very often. It goes to show that some of the pool store personel are not all about selling you everything under the sun
