All,
We're a month or two out to having a fully functional 60-foot lap pool. The pool builder says he gives everybody a "PoolRx". He says it will make our lives much easier. I have read through the Pool School and studied the Pool Math, and there is no mention of a "PoolRx". The ads
for the thing say that it has magic minerals in it. Closer reading convinces me that the magic minerals are mostly copper sulfate. Plants hate copper, so it would keep the algae down. Wouldn't do anything for animal-type bacteria though.
Amazon reviews for the thingie are mostly positive, but there were a couple that said "It died my blond hair green".
So: Should I take him up on his free PoolRx? Or just eschew that complication and set up the chemistry per Pool Math?
Another Q, since I'm typing...
This pool will have an motorized cover. Our plan is that it will mostly be covered. Does that make it behave like an indoor pool. chemistry wise? It will have an SWG. We had a choice of a small SWG or an oversized one...I said "give me the big one, please". I figure the bigger the better, it won't be working as hard.
