![]() ![]() Neither Leslie's nor Crystal Pools seems to have any sold advice except to keep purchasing expensive chemicals from them. I apologize for the long narrative, but I would be very grateful for any help/insight/advice as to why this is happening and what can I do to solve the problems. Complicating matters is the fact that we will be leaving for a week's vacation, and I need to get a handle on this problem before we leave tomorrow night. Contains: 650 g/kg available Bromine 280 g/kg available Chlorine present as Bromochlorodimethylyydantoin. This product is an ideal pool sanitiser for water that is greater then 26 degrees, and Bromine is not pH dependant. I'm also concerned about letting the filter and water pump run because the residual is coating the filter tentacles and the PSI subsequently rises. International Quadratics’ Spa Brom Tablets control algae and bacteria in spas, pools and hot tubs. ![]() So, after spending all day Saturday and Sunday continuously vacuuming my pool and running the filter, which I've backrinsed and recharged with DE 4 times, I woke up this morning with a fresh coating of whitish-grey ash on the bottom of my pool which I have since vacuumed and recharged my filthy filter for the fifth time since Saturday. per 10,000 gallons of water however, I chose to follow the instructions that the pool experts at Leslie' gave to me. I should also point out that the directions on the Soda Ash container advised mixing it with water at a rate of 1 lb. The staffer said he's never seen or heard of anything like this and had no explanation or solution for me. Applied twice a week in your floater or skimmer, these tabs can be used with all pool surfaces. I expressed my belief that, after following the Leslie staffer's directions to a T, that the fallout on the bottom of my pool.and the cloudiness.was due to the excessive amount of Soda Ash mixed into the pool. Get the most out of your pool and your budget with Aqua Chem 3' Tab Plus, the tablet that does more than just kill bacteria and control algae by also softening your water and protecting your pool equipment. I took pictures of the pool bottom and a water sample to Leslie's. On Saturday, I awoke to find that my pool was cloudy and had a residual fallout of whitish-grey ash covering the bottom of the pool. ![]() He claimed that the Aqua-Chem tabs ruined his pool by raising the CYA to high levels. I did all of this on Thursday/Friday, draining and refilling the pool, then adding the Soda Ash as recommended by the Leslie's staffer who also told me to add the Tri-Chlor tabs to the chlorinator, but that I should buy his tabs and not use the Aqua-Chem tabs that I had been using. every two hours by sprinkling the granules around the pool perimeter while the pump is running. I was also told to add 15 lbs of Soda Ash in increments of 5 lbs. The staffer at Leslies told me that my CYA was now down to 150 and I needed to drain 8-10 inches of water from my pool and refill to reduce the CYA. My test strips showed me that, after two weeks, I had zero chlorine, high levels of CYA and Ph was still low therefore, I decided to go to Leslies Pool Supplies for another water analysis and a second opinion. I was also told that my chlorine levels were excessively high and to wait two weeks before shocking the pool with 18 ounces of chlorine granules. CP also recommended that I stop using the 3" tri-chlor tabs because, I was told, that is what caused the high CYA level. I was told to add 5 lbs of soda ash 4 hours apart, for a total of 10 lbs., and to add 32 ounces of Akalinity Plus to raise Ph. of soda ash and a bottle of Alkalinity Plus. I was also told that my Ph was low and was sold 10 lbs. Crystal Pools recommended that I use an expensive chemical called Bio-Active at $50 per 8 ounce bag to reduce the CYA. Recently, my 18,000 gallon pool registered an excessive CYA reading of 190. ![]() I am also overwhelmed by the mountain of information.and conflicting information.that I have received from two competing pool companies. I am a new to pool ownership and new to the forum. It does not store any personal data.Good morning all.

The mid-dilated pupil occurs in acute angle closure for two reasons. This semi-narrow angle patient is a candidate for the laser peripheral iridotomy. Slit lamp exam findings include conjunctival hyperemia, microcystic and stromal corneal edema, a shallow anterior chamber with cells and flare, iris bombé and a classic mid-dilated pupil. Patients with an acute angle closure attack will experience blurry vision with halos around lights, nausea, vomiting, headaches and severe eye pain. 1 Prolonged exposure to dim illumination or topical medications, such as tropicamide 1.0% or vasoconstrictors such as tetrahydrozoline 0.05% (found in Visine eye drops) may cause at-risk patients to develop an acute angle closure attack. Primary angle closure is more common in people of Asian or Inuit decent and usually occurs in female patients with hyperopia, shorter axial length and a thickened crystalline lens. Primary angle closure can occur by non-pupil block mechanisms as well, such as angle crowding from a thickened peripheral iris stroma, or plateau iris syndrome. This can occur acutely, causing an angle closure attack, or proper aqueous flow may be restored spontaneously, resulting in a subacute/intermittent or chronic disease course. As the iris continues to touch the trabecular meshwork, it can form peripheral anterior synechiae. As the peripheral iris bows forward, it makes contact with the trabecular meshwork and blocks the outflow of aqueous from the eye, leading to an elevated IOP. 1-3 Primary angle closure most commonly occurs when aqueous flow from the posterior to anterior chamber is blocked at the pupil by contact between the iris and the lens, leading to an increased intraocular pressure (IOP) in the posterior chamber and a forward bowing of the peripheral iris (known as iris bombé). If left untreated, primary angle closure glaucoma-a major cause of blindness worldwide-can occur and prompt intervention will be needed to preserve vision. ![]() A cute primary angle closure is an ocular emergency where hours can make the difference in a patient’s final visual outcome. ![]() ![]() There are three rectangular panels in the window.

(The older pieces from his collection have been purposefully exposed to ultravio- let light, to destroy any LSD that might have been on them.) McCloud promoted his collection at galleries, and he won second place at the 1987 San Francisco County Fair for his "unusual but timely" art exhibition. But soon McCloud began to produce his own images- as well as make connections to other such artists in the community-and the bulk of his collection shifted to completely legal, undipped blotter. Ironically, it was initially quite difficult for McCloud to collect the undipped (and hence legal) sheets of art, making him both an art collector and a potential outlaw due to his interest in this unique form of folk art. ![]() He bought these sheets, matted and framed them, and hung them like fine art. In the early days this art could only be obtained with LSD already on it. McCloud's collection covered everything from the late 1970s up to today: several hundred types of LSD blotter art. The original collector and scene maker of blotter art is Mark McCloud, a San Francisco artist and former art professor. ![]() Over the years, examples of appropriated cartoons have included Otto Messmer's "Felix the Cat" and Walt Disney's "Goofy" and "Mickey Mouse Sorcerer's Apprentice," as well as the more contemporary "Beavis and Butt-head," "Bart Simpson," and "South Park." ![]() But one of the most consistently popular inspirations for blotter imagery has remained the lowly comic or animated character. Examples include: "Chinese Dragons," "Pentagrams," "Tetragammatons," "Eye of Horus," "Knights of Malta Crests," and so on. Occult or religious symbols, moire patterns, and fractal designs have been exploited on blotter art. It also seems to enhance the creative process.

In more recent years, work from contemporary psychedelic artists has also appeared on blotter, such as "Carbon Jesus" (aka "Purple Jesus") by Alex Grey, "Lucifer" by Reverend Samuel, and "Tribute to Preston Blair" by Frank Kozik.Įventually, satirical blotter art started showing up one sheet depicted the "FBI Emblems," while another featured the mug of former Soviet president Mikhail Gorbachev-the popular "Gorby" acid.

In San Francisco, underground comic and rock-and-roll poster artists like R. The album cover art that they produced for Santana's Abraxas reflected this new style. In the late 1960s, "fantastic realist" painters like Mati Klarwein and Robert Venosa were heavily influenced by LSD. Perforations for blotter are nowadays primarily done by professionals in the print industry, quickly stamped out by the thousands via automated die-cutting machines.Īs LSD entered our cultural consciousness, it affected a generation of artists. One blotter art producer recently even went so far to print his design on a hemp-blend paper with soy-based edible inks. These days, the art is usually printed via the four-color separa- tion process. This trend has continued, and even today, most street LSD is still distributed on perforated or unperforated blotter paper, often covered with logos or art, and sometimes sold under "brand names." In the past, blotter art was printed fairly secretively, with underground producers perforating it using hand-cranked machines, feeding in a single sheet and cutting it in one direction at a time, before flipping the sheet 90 degrees to crank the complet- ing set of perf lines. Around 1970, LSD first began to appear on sheets of perforated blotter paper. This story is about the origins and development of blotter as an art form.Įarly on in the underground trade of illegal LSD, it was distributed in pills or capsules, or sometimes dropped onto sugar cubes.
