Well, I thought I would respond even though I dont know exactly
myself. Being a lifeguard, I always wondered the same. To my
understanding, there is no difference. I bet the guy who's sitting on
his big leater couch, smoking his fine cuban cigar doesn't want you to
know that though. Personally, I plan on using it myself as soon as I
runout of the marked up pet store variety.--
