Not new to pools but new here!

Hi everyone,

Used to live in California where i maintain my pool and several friend's pools. I moved to St Thomas Virgin Islands a year ago. I have a pretty good understanding of the chemicals used to balance a pool althought I am not an expert!
I always been shocked to see how pools are maintained. Tons of chlorine: If water is clear, it good! WOW. It is terrible. I am very happy that I found this group. Hopefully some day I'll be able to help as well. Andre
