The folks at this Leslie's are very nice but they seem to be selling junk lately. I bought a chlorine dispenser in June and within a few weeks, it wouldn't screw shut anymore and I would have chlorine tablets on the bottom of the pool.
I also bought a leaf skimmer, which came apart in a week or so. I returned it, they replaced it and it fell apart again.
It's nice that Leslie's is willing to take things back but I don't want to be running back to the pool store all the time.
I bought a new skimmer at the pool shop down the road - NPS, I think. It's next to the Valero gas station on 90th Street. Maybe they have the same supplier - I don't know. But I have to give them a try.
