We rented a house at Myrtle beach with a pool and attached hot tub. I checked the skimmer baskets (there are 4 of them) and each one had large chlorine pucks; three baskets had 1 puck and one of them had 4.
We have a large gaggle of very young kids and I was guessing the pool guy dumped more than needed for no reason other than human nature assumptions so I took 3 of the four large pucks out of the last basket.
This morning I saw pool guys wrapping up. Headed out and each basket now has a fresh puck in it (the old ones were almost depleted) and the basket that I took a few out of had the old pucks I removed as well as a bunch of new ones.
I'm assuming pool guys care more about maintaining crystal clarity even at the expense of overchlorinating. Is this a bad assumption? I'm tempted to take some of these enormous chlorine pucks out but without my test kit (mental note, ALWAYS bring test kit along) I have no way of proving it.
