We have purchased all our pool chems from Smitty for the last 10 years. Great gentleman, has been selling chemicals and testing water out of his home/garage/climate controlled facility for the last 36 years.
He sells a Case/4 gallons of 12.5% liquid Chlorine for $14.99 ($3.75each) and it's always fresh. (just checked my current case and the date is 5/30/2017)
He sells Muriatic Acid for $5.00 a gallon
Sand was $14.95 per 50# bag US Silica Brand clearly marked for Pools
He does not sell you things, his tests are spot on compared with my own Taylor Testing results. (I test and then immediately drive over to him with the same sample)
Example, my test for CYA was clear all the way up (so I was below 30ppm), his test said I was 10ppm, I used the pool calculator targeting 30ppm and after 36hrs, I was just over 30 as in 31-32.. I round up to 40 but knowing what I know now, I can't ask for much more than that.
I have paid special attention to him this year as I am doing my own testing and was following SLAM, he never mentioned selling me Algaecide or Floc or Clarifier one time.
After seeing folks post about prices for Chlorine, I thought I would throw this out there for anyone in this area.
