PUBLISHER'S CORNER

"I don't know how it happened," said the distraught pool owner to the knowing pool chemist, who was entering data into his computer. "I bet my pH is too high. That's probably what it is," the pool owner said with a tone of self-loathing that was all too familiar.

We enter Leslie's every pool season with our small containers of pool water. Even though they offer us small free official Leslie's bottles, we persist with our red Solo cups, Rubbermaid containers, old yogurt cups. The man behind the counter has seen it all.

It's a baptism of sorts - we come for the holy grail of pool solutions and we rely on the guy behind the counter to provide the magic formula that will evaporate the algae, soften up the hardness, lower the pH.

"Don't be so hard on yourself," I say to the man burping the lid of his makeshift Tupperware pool water caddy, awaiting his computer print out. "We do the best we can. Thank goodness these guys are here to save us from ourselves," I said, and the man smiled faintly, nodding in the affirmative as he clutched a few bags of shock to his chest.
