It's so nice to have a pool supply place near the house. Especially one that's not Leslies. Not that I have anything against Leslies. It just felt as if I had little choice, with one on every corner.
So far, I've only gone to Northwest Pool and Spa for a few basic supplies, primarily, liquid chlorine. They carry a brand called HASA. I've never heard of it before. But now I recognize their yellow crates in the back of pool maintenance pick up trucks all over town.
You buy a crate of 4 gallons, and then bring them back for a refill for about $13.00. That's a pretty good deal, and kind of enviro -- if it weren't for the fact that it's chlorine you're buying.
