Question 1

Will this work with a salt water pool?  Also are Polymers safe?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely, have used in my salt water pool for about a year. You'll most likely notice reduced evaporation first. A side effect of evaporation is cooling, so there is also a slightly less loss of temperature. Here in So Fl. we use it in the fall and spring. Winter here (w/solar heating) requires a "bubble plastic" solar cover to use pool year round. Up north I would use it all summer long. Here in Summer the pool is often close to 94/95 w/o any cover and solar heat shut down, so we just run the deck jets and replace the water evaporation when it doesn't rain enough to keep the pool filled and temp down below 90. I like this product and use it a lot; it isn't magic, but it sure helps reduce water evaporation (just for the record, we also use 50ppm borate in the pool water as well). Also I have found after the first 2 doses, I only need to add more product every other week (if you had kids and loads of splash out) then maybe you might need to add more each week.

Question 2

How soon after putting this in can you swim?

Accepted Answer

This product is not irritating or dangerous.  Swimming can be done right away.

Question 3

can you use this in addition to a solar blanket

Accepted Answer

I bought the product to replace my solar blanket because it was so hard to put on and take off. I can't think of a reason why it wouldn't work with your solar blanket on. The product is just okay, as last year it keep the pool kind of warm,but really didn't stop the evaporation of the pool water.

Question 4

Seems to me if it create a layer on top of the pool and you have a skimmer pool filter, wont it gum up your DE filter mechanism faster?

Accepted Answer

No did not gum my filters at all , but the product only works marginally at best keeps some water from evaporating but does not keep the water warm on cold nights, save your money and buy a cover,
