    User name checks out.
    Sodium bicarbonate. Just buy it at your local supermarket for around same price or less everyday.

    Shame they don't sell PH Down (i.e. dry acid) as well.

    Lol I buy sodium bicarbonate for $65 for 25 kgs. Check your local chemical supply companies, people! (Or even food supply stores; hippies use sodium bicarbonate to make bath bombs or some such)

      This. Didn't take me long after becoming a pool owner to realise that "Sodium Bicarbonate 1000g/KG" was pool-shop marketing speak for "yeah sucker we're selling you pure bicarb at $30/kg".

      Here in Brisbane, Viva Blu does 25kg of bicarb $58 (free local delivery or pickup Windsor).

    • Need Education on 17/10/2024 - 11:45

      Thanks for the heads up.
      Can get 25kg for $43 - rural supplier used in stock feed

      • MattyD on 17/10/2024 - 12:12

        Link would be awesome, pls

          Just Google "rural stock supplies bicarb soda"

          For example - $35 for 25kg bag:

      Why do you need so much, I doubt I use 2kg a season for 50000 litre pool.

      • Need Education on 18/10/2024 - 08:20

        What type of water do you have?
        Mine is freshwater

        • Jessie Ryder on 18/10/2024 - 18:01

          Just Salt, I only really add Acid one a week.

  • stuckster on 17/10/2024 - 11:29

    Yep $65/25kg for me too.
    Don't mess around with <10kg bags if it's for your pool. You're paying through the nose.

    Algae killer Bunnings 2l $16.40
    https://www.bunnings.com.au/hy-clor-2l-pool-algaecide_p30901…

    I like the copper based stuff as it lasts 6mths

    • stuckster on 18/10/2024 - 09:19

      To be honest if your pool is balanced correctly with proper amounts of sanitizer you shouldn't need any algaecide. These are the kind of products the pool industry makes a fortune on. Be particularly careful with copper. Gotta make sure your free chlorine levels are still high enough.

      • M00Cow on 19/10/2024 - 12:40

        yeah it's hard keeping balance right when nature keeps dumping leaves, dirt, pollen & rain continuously in your pool. chemicals get diluted & phosphate levels increase.

    Any ideas of where to get cheap Cyanuric acid?

      Would also like to know.

    • M00Cow on 28/10/2024 - 15:39

      Bunnings has 2kg Hyclo stabiliser (isocyanutic acid) $10.46 (was $25)

  • itxrd on 17/10/2024 - 12:20

    I have a new pool and im trying to muddle through how to do stuff - paying loads extra in the process. Anyone got a good link to somewhere that explains all this please?

      https://www.troublefreepool.com/blog/pool-school/

      Only site you'll ever need.

      Pool Math app and the forums are also excellent.

    • Need Education on 17/10/2024 - 14:01

      Did you get a fresh water pool?

    • naphman on 17/10/2024 - 14:14

      I must say I bought one of the Solar-copper floats and we love it - minimal chlorine needed and its never got algae. (cheap and nasty above ground from Costco with upgraded glass filter/pump combo)

    I agree with buying kg of alkalinity up from supermarket
    Does anyone have a method of buying sunblock (cyanuric acid)?

    • Punkboy on 17/10/2024 - 14:54

      Agree, would be good to know where to get economical stabiliser

  • WesthamAreMassive on 17/10/2024 - 15:18

    I have been following Shannon Lush’s idea of 1/2 scoop washing powder, 1/2 scoop bicarbonate and filling the softener tray in your machine with white vinegar. It cuts down the cost and washes and cleans beautifully. Also works great with 1/8 of your regular liquid.

  • cathalm8 on 18/10/2024 - 10:39

    Just bought a house with a pool and no next to nothing about how to maintain it. Ive heard brining some bottled water to the local pool shop will likely lead to you always being sold something regardless if you need it…

    I have some of the testing strips… likely it needs something added as hasn't had anything in at least 4 months.

    I assume I need some of this bi-carb stuff.. but will be going for these 25kg bags from posts above… cheers

      Largely you need acid and chlorine I have had a new pool for 3 years and maybe used 10kg of this.

    • Jessie Ryder on 18/10/2024 - 18:03

      No, don't buy 25kgs lol.

      Test your pool and workout what you need.
