I struggled to keep our pool clear with old equipment to the point I had pool guys quitting on me. I found Academy and have been doing my own pool for over a year. The chemicals are top quality and the people who work in the shop go above and beyond to make sure you not only have what you need but understand how to properly and safely use it. Highly recommend.
