Over here we have pump parts to replace a lot of different things that can go wrong with your pump that is really simple to replace and most stores have those. Here we have skimmer baskets and these are most of your maintenance supplies; your skimmer net, your vacuum, your rakes your brush, rope and floats, thermometers, repair kits, just different things you might need from time to time to replace. And if you were to have problems you know of course we have your test strips so you can test your water before you bring it in and sometimes it easier to do that before we have ultimately big problems the homeowner can catch them their self. Like the pool we were just at, last year it had a really big phosphate treatment and most people don't know you can buy phosphate kits but you can. A lot of stores don't have them out because we did that ourselves but if you have phosphates, these products here are really good products to help get rid of the phosphates and most people will have some type of chemical plan, five day chemical treatment that you can use to take those phosphates to your filters so that you can backwash them. If you were to have any type of metals, we have metal products that will take the metals out of your water also and we have here chlorine tablets; most people use chlorine in their pools. A lot of people don't like the people that I just treated it is a non-chlorine chemical and can be used as a stand alone non-chlorine chemical or you can add chlorine tablets to it. For instance like I have this in my pool at home and last year I had a bunch of 15 year old boys swimming in it and it ended up pretty cloudy so I put a couple of chlorine tablets in my dispenser or my floating dispenser or my in line chlorinator and overnight the cloudiness was gone. But we have all the products you need; stabilizers, ph minus, algaecides, shocks, clarifiers. Most places any time that they don't have something that you need, they have a local distributor somewhere that they order from that they can get pretty much anything at any time. That is how you open a swimming pool for the swimming season and that will be all for now and hope everything goes well with your swimming pool and maybe we will have some programs in the future to where if we have a really bad pool like some of the things we talked about, phosphates, we can do another segment on those and have a good swimming season. Thank you.
