So, I got an email with the link below.
Appears that Leslie’s is marketing a home testing service for $50/mo.
What does the hive think about it?

They can't test accurately in the store...what makes anyone think it will work better at home?
$50 a month charge gets you a credit on potions you probably never needed and will cause more problems down the road.

My local pool company is doing something similar except they're using test strips in their program.
Pool Water Testing - Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill

I'm sure people who have never read this website think it's a great program. What could be easier than dip a strip, use a phone app to determine chemicals, have those chemicals shipped to your home and dump them in the pool for sparkling water.

Things I would trust more than Leslies:
- A Nigerian Prince trying to give away money
- That there are indeed hot singles in my area wanting to connect
- Free brake inspections
- The person trying to reach me about my car's extended warranty
- Bigfoot riding on the back of the loch ness monster
- A politician
- A used car salesman
- That random Facebook friend request from someone I'm already friends with
- Late night infomercials
- Epstein's prison guards/coroner

No thank you. Using what’s taught here I spend minimal time testing/maintaining and save a bundle of money!

JJ has (rightfully) taken the interwebs crown. A feat which has not happened since Jan 11th, 2007, when a British Short-hair cat wanted a cheezburger.

There is nothing left to see on the internet today. We can all go home now.

Guys......... GUYS !!!!!! We're seeing this the wrong way. Their insatiable greed will be their self inflicted downfall.

They have undone the hypnotic draw of the free test.

I'll never understand that draw. Even when I was being #TeamPoolstored I knew I was getting taken to the cleaners with the test and subsequent report. I just didn't know where else to go.

Spiffy lube (*name changed) will test your levels for free too, but nobody in their right mind goes for it, lest they pay $75 each for headlight fluid and the service guy hears the muffler bearings rattling when he pulls the car into thr shop. ($179 for 6, plus labor).

I’m glad the hive thinks it’s a big rip off.
That was my first thought as well.
