I just want to thank everyone here... I just left the local pool store after signing the contract for my 12x24 doughboy pool. While sitting there filling out paperwork I here a poor soul get talked into 30lbs of shock to get him through the rest of the season. He also left with various bottles of other Crud. Ugh glad I'm not him. The salesmen sounded upset when I told him to keep all his start up chemicals and that I would maintain it myself. Got to love TFP.
