I am however with all the members here on their feelings toward the pool shops that retail chemicals. Those guys don't know jack most of the time. I frequent my local hardware store, Ace, and last year they started testing water. When I asked the guy doing the testing if he had a pool...

that's the million dollar question tim. at this point, I'd be willing to do some of the installs for free...but I'd still have to explain the cost of equipment and why it is needed...or I guess preferred would be better wording. I have made it work with tabs but by the end of the year we end...
