    Hello and help with chemical allergies.

    Welcome to the board Todgeist. I'm relatively new here myself and yes I know your post is two months old but I had to focus on my pool first.

    Hi everyone. I have watched this site for about a year, and joined a little while back but haven't posted that I am aware of. I read the pool school stuff (likely will re-read as time permits) and also read the BBB threads. Good stuff in there. So I bought a house back in September with this...
