    I have found it hard for people to go outside the box. When you think about a pool the first thing that comes to mind is chlorine pucks that go in the floater. You can give them 100 reasons why to use bleach over chlorine pucks and other pool store chemicals but they will never switch. Even telling them they can save money they still wouldn't switch. Personally it makes no sense to me.

    I come across this all the time "I've been using pucks for years and my water is perfect. I never test anything but chlorine and pH". I say "Great!" After all, until they have a problem, it is great. And, until they have a problem that their pool store and conventional wisdom cannot solve, I have no effective argument for them--they have evidence of success.

    When they get the algae bloom and they can't clear it, then they start to listen.

    Or they start overdosing the pool on copper and get even more frustrated!
