    Possibly good if you know what you're doing, and I'm guessing most users of this really don't, and that's how they ended up where they are.

    Make sure you know all your levels and what you need to achieve, and how this stuff will affect things.

    My guess is it raises cya/stabiliser levels, so pay attention to that among other things.

      Exactly this.

      You don't need this stuff if you keep your levels in check, same with other stuff like clarifier too. Stabiliser not necessary but have to buy more chlorine obvs

      Pool shop, test for free, gives read out, tells you what to do exactly to get balanced pool. Job done.

        YMMV but some Bunnings have a machine that you can DIY test too - the one at my local is broken more than its working

            I remember seeing little bottles to get sample water

        • prankster on 19/01/2025 - 09:05

          My Bunnings has a machine but you still need to bring water and then use the stripes there and compare it to the results on the machine to see what you need

      • adrianhughes1998 on 18/01/2025 - 20:27

        I didn't even need that when I used to have a pool. Just bought one of those take home kits and did it myself, honestly not that hard.

      I just let the pool shop test my water for free & then decline their overpriced chemicals. I have a test kit but usually cbf using it myself.

      Yeah you're in Melb, its different down there. Lots of rain & warm weather means chemicals are hard to keep balanced.

              @Lizard Spock: Yeah, I had that splash once.
              So I now submerge (about 2/3rd of) the 15 L gallon within pool and its so easy to pour chlorine. Light weight and just drips nicely in pool. No more splashes.

    • M00Cow on 18/01/2025 - 23:24

    Alkalinity increaser is just bicarb, the same as from any grocery store.

    The stabiliser and clarifier are good value.

    • pennypincha on 19/01/2025 - 08:22

      Way cheaper in bulk from the pool shop/Bunnings though. Same with salt.
      True ozbargainers cook with pool salt and bake with alkalinity increaser

      Price comparison with woolies:
      Bicarb soda ~$40/kg vs ~$4/kg for alkalinity increaser with this deal
      Salt ~$2/kg at Woolies vs $0.55/kg at Bunnings for 20kg pool salt

      • kulprit on 19/01/2025 - 08:52

        Bicarb is $3.50/ kg all the time at Coles though?

  • DingoBlue on 18/01/2025 - 19:41

    It’s just quats, doesn’t feel right going in a pool and probably won’t do much. I’d shock the crap out of it and think about copper in the future.

    Purchased 25 kg bag of Alkalinity Increaser (sodium bicarbonate) for $40. Don't buy from hardware stores or pool shops.

    https://www.bringellypetandstockfeed.com.au/product-page/sod…

    Now if someone can get me a price for 20L Hydrochloric Acid (or bigger) because Bunnings now charge $63.88 , I'm having flashbacks of it only being $49 at one stage.

    • kackstelze on 18/01/2025 - 23:03

      Do you know a store that delivers these bags?

      • Noobist45 on 18/01/2025 - 23:22

        Had a quick look, most stores either dont say or say pick up only. My god stores are seriously making up the prices. 25kg bag of bi-carb ranges from $29 - $120.

        • rifter on 19/01/2025 - 09:36

          Try your local supermarket. In the cake baking section. Seriously doubt your pool needs 25kg of bicarb.

          • Noobist45 on 19/01/2025 - 14:00

            @rifter: ????

            Feel free to pay 100 times more the price in the supermarket. And since bicarb doesn't go off ….yeah over a year and a bit my pool does need 25kg of bicarb.
            It's also used for cleaning.

            Out of curiousity do you own a pool ? Are you able to do maths ?

            • rifter on 19/01/2025 - 22:18

              @Noobist45: 65,000 litre pool. 16 years ownership. Have added just 4kg in that 16 years after initial install.

              Once correctly balanced only minor adjustments needed.

              As for maths, supermarket bicarb can be got for $3.50 for 1kg https://www.coles.com.au/product/coles-bicarbonate-soda-1-kg…
              That is $87.50 for 25kg. Well within your 25kg bag range. Definitely not 100x your bulk pricing. And, you only need to buy the actual amount you need.

            • futureminime on 20/01/2025 - 12:22

              @Noobist45: Without knowing the details its a bit of a leap but 25kg of bicarb in a year is a LOT of alkalinity. Coupled with the hydrochloric acid comment? Are you maybe chasing pH? You could just be chucking in a lot of extra chemicals you don't need to that are essentially cancelling eachother out.

              Or do you have a fresh concrete/pebblecrete pool?

              I get a lot of pH drift as well, and am pretty lazy with the pH adjustments as sanitation is managing but I would investigate if 25kg isn't hyperbole.

    The active ingredient - Benzalkonium Chloride - is the same as is used in laundry hygiene rinses like Canestan. But the algicide is 5 times more concentrated.
    So buy the algicide and adjust the amount accordingly at a fraction of the cost of Canestan.

    • madseason on 16/02/2025 - 14:08

      This may be a silly question, but won’t this turn the laundry orange, I think that’s what colour it is?

  • skillet on 20/01/2025 - 01:03

    I sprayed my sad looking driveway with this, diluted to Wet and Forget concentration in August and now it's looking better. Works nicely but it takes time. I think frequent dosing with water will accelerate the cleaning process this replicates the rain fall.

    When I used the pressure washer on the driveway it blasted off some of the concrete, I'm just going to spray with this every three months then see how it goes.
