One of the chlorine options suggested to us was the use of calcium hypochlorite (tablets. Have any of you had experience with this in your pools? I am looking for comments regarding the handling, effectiveness, any maintenance problems etc. We are currently using sodium hypochlorite (and previous to that, salt cells for main pool) but looking for a solution that is safer to use and still inexpensive. Please reply to Diane Burt Stuckey at dianepc@telusplanet.net or call 403-627-4322 or fax 403-627-4784.

2 full indoor soccer fields (each 80' x 180' or 14,400 sq.ft/field) of artificial turf. The turf rolls come in various sizes, but most are approximately 6½ - 13 feet in width and 90 x 180 feet in length. The Rec-Turf Portable Turf System was purchased new in 1997 from Centaur Products and includes a 6mm underlay pad. The underlay is rolled out separate, and then the turf is rolled out over top and the seams and lines are velcroed on.
We are currently asking $2.00/sq.ft which includes both turf and underlay. We will also include (at no charge) all existing velcro lines (soccer, lacrosse and tennis) and any extra Velcro supplies that we have in stock.
For more information, please feel free to contact Erin Low directly. Please forward this on to any other individuals or organizations who may be interested.
