Okay - so with the pool complete and the kids jumping in the 75 degree water (crazy they are) - we needed some supplies. So we went to a large chain for a brush/net/pole. While I was waiting to check-out I was amazed at the two guys in front of me that got totally pool-stored.

Now - I have read all the accounts on this forum, but I thought that they were exaggerated. They are NOT - this guy had put in 10 bags of "shock" and now two days later has "no chlorine". So the guy behind the counter says "that is so weird, you should have something left - I mean you had no problems a couple of weeks ago when you picked up all the pucks". They then speculate that there is a problem with the in-line chlorinator. Then the "supervisor" tells him he has "chlorine lock" and needs 6 more bags of shock, and if that doesn't work come back and they will send a guy out to look at his chlorinator. So the guy buys the "shock" and leaves. I wanted to go over to him and just whisper "www.poolsolutions.com" - but I wasn't able to because he was at the counter the whole time.

I just walked out with my brush, net, pole and of course a pool toy - with a coy smile on my face knowing I had all the answers in my case of bleach in the garage
