but I wouldn't want the neighborhood kids coming over and their parents find out you treat the pool with Clorox and Arm and Hammer. People don't even ask for the industrial bags of bi-carb. We have it, you just have to ask. And yes, spending money on liquid chlorine is still stupid. You want to save money but in reality your chlorine per dollar is much higher with tabs/granular chlorine.
Not to mention I am extremely pro local business. I like spending money at local businesses (like pool dealers) as it promotes a healthy local economy meaning average Joe's have access to more jobs and a higher quality of life.
