Customer was fine - it was the pool techs that were there. One threw the container into the pool thinking that would stop it becoming more of a hazard, but hubby discovered last night, after much research, that it doesn't break down in water (like it will in air) and it is heavier than water. Hopefully neither pool tech has developed any sypmtoms as it can take 24 hours to show up (sounds like super nasty stuff). It would help if there were better safety procedures in place (like poor hubby has been pushing for) but anyway. Sometimes it takes a situation such as this to create some change.

Sadly, it is often hard to find something that will last even at a much higher cost. I'd rather pay 4x the cost something once that will last 4X as long as a POS "affordable" item 4 times.

The customer who owned the pool had managed to put the wrong chemical on the wrong feeder tube, so the tech has poured in the acid, thinking it was the right container, except it was the chlorine one!:barnie

:eek:
I'm surprised they even use chemicals that can combine to make something that dangerous.

Happy birthday @JaeG. I gave up on cards, so I didn't get you onw. I keep losing them before plan to send them. The last one was my sister's BDay in November. I bought the card TWO days before I was going to send it. I have NO idea where it is.

Sounds like me and Christmas cards!

Most pool systems in New Zealand still run on chlorine. Then you're adding sulfuric acid to balance the pH and hardness of the water. It's fine if they are going in separately, but if a customer has put the wrong barrel of chemical on the wrong feeder pipe and the pool tech goes to top up the barrel and both chemicals are mixed - not good!

@Teila that cockatiel pic is so cute! And that's exactly what they'd do!

The new mom has her own problems. This is kid #6 for her...anytime she feels the need to get off drugs, she gets pregnant as a motivator.

That poor little baby, just makes me want to cry :hit

Sometimes I really don't like people very much.

There are many people like her. At least she stayed off drugs while pregnant!! My niece has had 2 children and has lost both. My oldest sister adopted our nieces second child. He was with my sister from pretty early on as a foster child. The whole situation is a long drawn out affair which ended in sister adopting. The father gave up rights as he ended up in prison. I told sister good luck. She’s mid 50’s and has an almost 2 year old and a 15 year old.
