Chemical Brand differences
« on: June 12, 2006, 11:10:42 pm »
I was just wondering if there is any difference between pH decreaser from Bioguard thats 6 dollars for 22 oz and the 8lb jug Pool time brand for 10 dollars.  They both say Sodium Bisulfate 99% on them just not sure if it would be bad for the tub or me.  Thanks in advance.

  Imagine how much a pool owner might have to spend if they had to buy those teeny 22 ounce bottles!  
If the ingredients are essentially the same, then the less expensive product will be identical to the spa packaged one.  
I've been using the #8 cannisters for some time.

Thanks for the replies.  Next time I buy it will be the bigger bottles.

Ha... we sell Bioguard pH Decreaser for 10.95 a bottle and it still flies off the shelves.

Wow!  The Bioguard corporation must fill those bottles one granule at a time with tweezers, or they're laughing all the way to the bank.

What's even more rediculous is that Chems at another dealer here in town who sells Biogaurd are about 20% or more in price than at my dealer.
