Ordered My Pool

[dcombs44]

Very interesting on the explosions.

All of the products are bio-guard products. I browsed the store searching for liquid chlorine the other day but didn't see any, so I'll have to ask next time I'm in. I found some at Target the other day, but it was only 10% at $5 for 3/4 gallon. That's more expensive than 2 gallons of 6% bleach, so for the time being, I'll chlorinate with Wal-Mart bleach.

The digging should be done this week, so if all goes as planned, we could be close to running by the end of the weekend, but that's probably a stretch. We definitely could've used it this weekend. It was HOT!

I'll keep that in mind with the Trichlor pucks. I've scouted all my local stores for borax and bleach, so I can get those easily enough. I'll search the hardware stores for muriatic acid in the next couple days.

My Taylor kit was backordered but shipped on Friday, so I should get it in the next couple days as well. Once it gets here, I'll test my tap water to see what we'll need to get things adjusted when we fill the pool. I also picked up a Wal-Mart Chlorine/pH/Bromine kit for $5 for daily testing.

I'll probably sort through all the chemicals tonight and detail the ingredients on here to make sure that I'm safe. I may dig through some of the equipment boxes as well to see how some of it works.

Thanks again.
