I put this in the closing forum because I just had my pool closed by my pool builder. First-year closing was free so I figured I'd watch them do it. They did a great job and even helped show me what should be done for next year so I am not complaining about them at all.
My question is this. Why when it comes to water chemistry do they seem to know so little? This is what they do for a living... This is how our conversation went...
Me: I already have the chlorine levels up pretty high so I'm not sure how much you want to add for closing. It is probably already around shock level.
Tech: How high is it?
Me: *Tests water* Looks like about 13PPM right now
Tech: That's way too high!
Me: My CYA is around 30-40 so that is about normal shock levels
Tech: You shouldn't have any CYA in your pool this time of year.
Me: *Blank Stare* mmkay. *Stops talking about water chemistry*
I am in the IT industry and I would be embarrassed in my line of work if I came across a end user that knows more about my job than me.
