I saw a similar product at the GDL Pool Shop just south of Hua Hin on the left side. They have also another product for green algae. The owners are an English couple, who are always very friendly.

Actually, GDL is now fully owned by a nice Thai gentleman as he has bought out the Brits.

will he double the outlandish prices they charge anyway!!!!!!

I always buy there:

Acid ca. 20 ltrs 350 Baht (400)
Salt 25 kgs 130 Baht (140)
Chlorine granulate 1kg 150 Baht (150)

The numbers in brackets are the prices at Pool Mart (about 100 m further south).

Does anyone know better prices?

I don't like to use poisonous algaecide. I put some chlorine granulate directly on the spaces with algae and next day they are vanished.

Maybe I will give it another try if there has been a change in ownership
