Just checked my invoices over past year for chlorine. I buy here in larger quantity than Chapala. Previous purchase for 25 pounds was $49.95, this year $74.95 for 25 pounds, bought 50 pounds of 3 inch tablets for $104.95

Your contractor did a great job on your pool Hocks. Mine didn't even suggest auto fill. Anyone want to know who to avoid for pool construction, please PM.

Looks like the going rate @ Lakeside is 1000 per month+/-. Vandre, don't sweat the small stuff. Beer

Don't know how many times a week they come but they do provide the chemicals. The home owners said the rate hadn't change for over a year or more. I believe the pool servicer is Alfredo Espinosa.

thatz the same guy who cleans ajibes.?? ... right beside Dr Pepe's Vet Clinic

No no Hocks, this guy Alfredo is in San Antonio, somewhere down below SuperLake. He might clean aljibes, I'll try to find out. I think his main business is fencing, like chain link, etc. He's been around for years.

Hi ....... Thanks to those of you that provided comparative data. I can now stop wondering about the whys & wherefores of the maintenance increase and ...... worry instead how I can remotely (while in MX) move my US funds around, so as to pay for it! Rolling Eyes
