The first half of your post makes perfect sense...you will love the kit.
The pool store lady is totally misinformed. I would disregard her "expertise".

Your children would be in danger from swimming in an inadequately sanitized pool if you run cl of 1-3 with cya of 100. Not a good thing.
There is little if any evidence of danger to you children swimming in 8ppm chlorine, espec with CYA=100. 8 is the MINIMUM FC you should have at that CYA level.
There is CENTURIES of evidence of the danger in swimming in improperly sanitized water. Cholera, typhoid, other water-borne diseases. Killing algae has no effect on them.
The clerk doesn't know her elbow from a turnip when it comes to pool chemicals.

Oh my god, the pool stores are amazing. I went to Leslie's looking for some Cya test chems and the box on the rack was empty. All they had was the full kit. I asked the girl there if they had any in the back and she said "no.". She then proceeded tp stare at the rack for a few minutes until I said "OK, I guess I'll just get the kit then.". I swear she must have been stoned LOL.
Do they hire people that they feel are not capable of doubting their practices???
IMHO, for the most part, yes!Originally Posted by Wayne LaBanca
