Hey there The Todd.... welcome to TFP by a neighbor "The Maddie....wife of Skippy". Are you new to the area?
Best advice I can pass on is do not step foot in any pool stores. You can get all the chemicals you need at Lowes or Walmart. And for a LOT less cash. And TFP is THE PLACE to get great help/information.
Holler if you have more questions in local stuff. You can DM me here (find link under Screen name)
