Kids wanted a pool and probably would never get one except grandparents offered to help. I wasn't terribly apposed to it but I kept telling myself there is a reason folks have pools and then don't have them anymore. I wouldn't want to spend so much money and effort to set up a pool that is temporary. However the pool went up this year and I started realizing how important the chemistry is and realized this is probably were folks fail. I ended up landing at TFP quite often to learn how to be a responsible pool owner and not go broke. It took me only 2 visits in the same week to my pool store to realize I need to avoid them. First indication was him telling me how I need to avoid buying chemicals from Walmart and to stay away from salt water. It was a little over the top to tell me folks destroy their pools with chemicals from walmart. Second indication was them testing my water sample with a test strip. Third was telling me I needed a gallon of pool shock only to tell me the next day I now need 3 gallons.
