    they usally check the ph levels too.

    so youll have to buy some of those too.

    i think its cheap.

    90/4= $22.5 a week.

    you pay for him to come over and labour.

    but like the guy above me said. if you can do it yourself. DO it yourself then.

    you will save 90 bucks a month afterall

    If you can do it in 6 minutes a week, figure the cost of chemicals and if cheaper, do it yourself. A nice little 6 minute chore on Saturday morning.

    thats actually cheap. you have to consider his transportation costs, supplies, time, extra maintenance that may be needed, plus remember that unless he is his own boss, those 90 dollars are not going straight into Javier's pocket.
