    Do they not have a pool guy, or? They’re doing it all wrong. Just like how they’re running the country.

      They found an undocumented guy outside home depot who said he could clean pools and his price was lower than the previous guy. Then they refused to pay him. So no, they no longer have a pool guy.

      To be fair, when I was a pool boy (for my home pool), this is basically how we would get the water ready (“shocking” it with a load of bleach, bc it has lots of chlorine)

        The article says they dumped Hydogen Peroxide AND bleach into the pool… that causes a reactive chemical mix decomposing the effectiveness of both chemicals and creating dangerous situation for wildlife and people nearby…

        Besides. Even if just shocking the water with only hypo, you should test the waters chemical balance beforehand to gauge the effectiveness of the shock, otherwise you’re wasting a ton of money.
