Hi folks,
I’m Bob T and I joined this group because I enjoy caring for my pool. In the past 13 years of owning an inground pool, I’ve met some really knowledgeable pool store technicians who gave some great advice; purchase a quality pool test kit, keep a spiral bound notebook to record your water results, record visual observation of the pool water, record rainfall amounts and write a list of action items needed to bring my pool back into the proper balance range. The catch; I always needed to purchase the recommended items while there and bring another water sample with you. This got old fast! So twelve years ago I decided to go on my own and this has worked for me. I do enjoy reading the helpful advice presented by the members.
