"Bomb the pond" in pictures

Then it is probably wise to tell folks, who don't have a meter, to detox
between treatments so they don't over treat. Thanks for the additional info
between ST & H2O2. ) ~ jan

neutralizes the PP and per Doc Johnson, the H2O2 remains active for up to 3
days, whereas sodium thio is used up in 24 hours.

that is odd, cause Roark found that any PP in the water instantly converts the

Without PP the peroxide will apparently have some residual, and the
treatment using peroxide is to some excess to completely expend the PP and
allow the water to clear. The excess that is still in the water will
neutralize some of the next PP dose which turns it brown prematurely.
