How exciting - not sure if you know - but this website is referenced in Costco Connection July issue on page 69!

Looks like a lot of traffic will be coming your way! Congrats!

I sure would like to be able to view that online some place (no Costco here). Anybody got a link?

They solicited for comments a few months ago, which a few of us responded to. Although as I recall, they seemed to really be pushing the tablets, being that is what they sell. Will have to look for the article.

Well I agree with the first 3 paragraphs and it quickly goes way down hill from there.

No kidding... trichlor tablets and a shock product every week or two. No thanks.

Well, they will come here to be enlightened!

I sent a letter off to the editor, briefly and politely debunking the pool guy's claims. We shall see if they print it.

Agreed. But I also noticed their "pool school" side. I didn't like it as it is too close (same)as pool school here........but theirs was wrong. Can pool school be trademarked?

If you look down in the coffee section there is a thread there too.

I get the majority of my bleach from Costco or Sams. I just walk on by the "pool supplies" section and straight to the laundry isle where the real pool supplies are kept. Just think of all the bleach they could sell if they pushed it pool owners. If they sold muriatic acid they would be my one stop pool supply store.

"Pool School" is pretty common with the pool builders around here and probably everywhere. All of the builders we interviewed told us that we would be walked through pool school at the time they turned the pool over to us.
