Vacation is over, so it is time to fire the pool service.
I was awaiting the bill (always gets here first every month) so I could pay him off and add some severance pay. But I decided to forgo the goodwill gesture when I saw this jewel besides the usual monthly charge:
I wrote the check, called and left him a message on his voicemail, and put a note in with the payment stub. So now I'm on my own. Just me, my TF100, The Pool Calculator, and you guys. With what I'll save this month, maybe I'll order a couple TFP T-shirts.
Does this pool need more chemicals? I think not.[attachment=0:2t6pfvwj]Dsc00226.jpg[/attachment:2t6pfvwj]

$75 for what?? My CYA is already at 140 due to the continuous use of pucks in a floater by him and the previous homeowner! It was 220+ until I started pumping and diluting with rainwater. I don't know how he decides how much "conditioner" to put in anyway - all I've seen them use is test strips.

I'm still wiping tears from the corners of my eyes from giggling. It's sad though, really for people who don't know better. You're in great hands here at TFP! Rock On!!
