I must admit the mental picture of you diving into your pool and comming up smacking your lips and then exclaiming, "Hmmm... Needs some cyaunuric acid..." were very entertaining. However I highly doubt your body getting into the pool is as accurate as a Taylor Test Kit! Here's your problem... First of all 99% of pool owners do not know everything their pool should use. Do you even know what kind of chlorine you're using? Calcium Hypochlorite, sodium hypochlorite, sodium dichloride, lithium hypochlorite, trichlor, or are you shocking with an oxidizer? Do take into account that each individual type of chlorine affects your ph and alk. in your pool in different ways. Do you have any clue on the effects of alkalinity on ph levels, or the effect of ph on chlorine efficiency? As much as I'm positive you'll claim to know all of that information I'm just as positive you don't know. Sounds like out of dumb luck you started using the appropriate blend of chemicals. Congrats on owning a pool longer than I've been in the industry, you are still a completely untrained pool owner just like everyone else! I don't know much about framing, drywall, or construction but I know what it is and enough that I could hold a conversation about it. So don't try and insinuate that because you've owned a pool longer than I've been in the industry you know more. Let me know when you've become a Certified Pool Operator. Let me know when you've completed the hours of skilled labor and repairs I've done. Let me know when you've even figured our your ass from your face when it comes to water chemistry!

It's unfortunate that you had to experience a manager lacking in knowledge... I do have to say that there are quite a few Leslie's managers who are far and above the competition in pool knowledge... perhaps try a different store.

Leslie's Pools does not officially endorse J&T Pools... Whoever referred you out to them did it against company policy. Leslie's does not refer anyone for the very reason aforementioned. The lack of service at your local store is all on the manager there. Try a different location as each manager handles things differently.

You are an idiot! MSDS sheets are readily available for all the chemicals Leslie's has in stock... Believe me I've checked them all. I Manage one of their stores. It's guys like you who don't pay attention to what you're being told to do and want to blame it on everyone else for your own laziness in caring for your pool. Power Powder Plus is Cacium Hypochlorite 70% available chlorine... That is the top standard for the chemical make up. Chlor-brite is 55% available chlorine and 99% sodium Dichloride... Once again highest possible standard. Compare the Leslie's tabs to Sun tabs... "the best on the market" Once again equivalent... Why don't you go get your water tested and add the chemicals in the order and do the work recommended for your pool... You'll see a big difference ass hole!

I nearly bursted out in laughter over this post... I've been a pool technician for over 5 years and have extensively studied and been active in every aspect of the pool industry here in Arizona. Currently I've been working for Leslie's about 2 months and I manage one of their stores... I can ensure anyone that the majority of Leslie's Managers are competent in their pool chemistry. I myself was impressed by the training they give to every employee. Leslie's is about selling products however done the right way. I have more satisfied customers in my area than ever before. In fact numerous "pool guys" have been fired for their attitudes similar to the one in your post. Leslie's actively pursues CPO certification for all it's store managers. To read about some no clue idiot challenge someone who actually has done the research and training for water chemistry makes me laugh.
