I'm not really sure what cleaner/vacuum we have. Sorry. I'll find out and add to my sig line. My husband would know. We are just going to wait the contract out. It's for three months. We don't want to have to go to court or anything nor do we want to pay any big fee to break it (I think it's a...

I knew i was saying it wrong. LOL. I think that's what we're going to do after this. My mom offered to help with our pool but last year she kept insisting we needed to drain our inground pool... when I kept telling her I don't think you can do that mom... And she has a bad back too... and NO...

You would think right? :\ No, after this... I think we'll just rely on ourselves to do this unless our guy from last year (who was awesome) comes out of hiding.

Sent the link to my husband for the Tf100 test kit. Since we signed a contract on top of all this (/facepalm)... we'll have to give the guy 30 days notice along with a reason why to break it and probably some sort of fee.... (/sigh). Not sure how easy that's going to be. :( He had to know we...

If you mean the thing that floats around and you put the chlorine tablets in (since they look like hockey pucks) yes. We just bought a big tub yesterday in fact. Already seeing some encouraging messages here. Thanks guys. I'm pricing tests now.

Ok. This isn't really necessarily a specific POOL problem but I feel like we are being jerked around. I hope this is the appropriate place to post this also. If not, please let me know and direct me to where I should post. Last year we had an awesome experience with a pool service... one guy...
