Day one of startup he tests all pool house equipment, checks auto fill, does a quick clean and adds some large white granules into the skimmer basket. I ask what are you adding? He says acid. Then he says I know pool chemistry blah blah blah. He says your water is green and you might have metals in the fill water. Sequestrant is $140 if you want it. Water may clear up in 3 days when I return without it.
He comes back today and says yeah you have metals. Cost is $170 if you want me to treat it. I say what happened to $140? Well the chemicals are more expensive than I thought. Ok I will pay $170 but tell me what chemicals you are adding, take a photo of the bottle or give me the names. I say please and add that I will pay him more money to share his secrets. HE SAYS ITS NOT ABOUT THE MONEY, but doesn't tell me what he is doing.
When I get home this packet in the pump basket.
I am not a poty mouth but why are these pool guys jerks? I want to tell him to KMA and stay away. I am testing my water daily and will record the results in Pool Math. Things better not go sideways after his last visit in two weeeks and I need him to come back.
