Over the past year and a half I have been getting more and more frustrated with my pool, mainly how much it costs constantly with the “advice” from the pool stores I have been going to. I origibally had a pool cleaning company taking care of the pool for the first 3 months after moving in but decided to take on the task myself when they wanted $300 to clean my filter. After spending a lot of money at Leslie’s, including buying a new filter, I have come here to learn how to keep better control of my pool to keep the water clean year round, rather than having to spend about $200 every month on chemicals to clean the pool that always seems to turn green a month after I follow the pool stores advice. I have recently purchased a TF-100 test kit and am ready to stop resenting the fact I have a pool that I never seem to use, and start enjoying it.
