Mine sent me to a family members farm during hay cutting season to hook square bales of hay and toss them on a trailer as it was being pulled by a tractor. It was not fun but I did learn that I didn't want to be a farmer. It was 4 years of military school after that to further learn valuable life lessons like how to shine boots and do pushups. Gotta love having Irish Catholic parents raised during the depression, real sense of humor :bigjoint:

Good morning.

That jogs a memory. I had my first beer after tossing hay with a friend to earn the money to buy the beer. He had to drive because I didn't have a learner's permit yet. It would have saved some time if the farmer had just paid us in beer but we had to drive to see my buddy's connection at the shady liquor store back behind garages and warehouses. I was turning green after half a beer while my buddy Jack was finishing his 2nd. I decided not to try to keep up with alcoholics.

I'd gotten drunk once before but that was off of grape vodka with another friend named Jack Goff. No joke, Jack Goff.

OMG the price of anything these days. But yes particularly chlorine. The last couple years has been the trichlor tabs. This year I hear it's going to be the Cal hypo.

Spa perfect is good shit. Natural chemistry is a good company. As long as you dump the water every 3 months like you should. You can probably get by without it. Might just have to clean the filter more often.

The Ca Hypo product I use to shock that I would pay 89 to 93 for I last paid 250ish. Turns out that chlorine cell was a better purchase than I knew when I built it.

Ok i got another one for you.
Is it really bad to put some fresh and clear in while you are in there? Same goes for the weekly chlor brite. I aint got no time to put that shit in there and wait to get in. And same goes for when i’m done with the hottub. I aint gots no time to put shit in there and let it mix before i bail.

All I use is 73% Ca Hypo, but I run a hypochlorous loop.

We use Cal hypo to shock the shit out of algae blooms. Mostly vinyl pools with a sprinkling of fiberglass out these parts. People either use erosion feeders with the trichlor or salt systems. But not too many plaster concrete pools out this way. Cal hypo all day just make sense with those, getting the calcium they need.
