take the online courses for training.  They shorten the learning curve immensely.  Get a ticket and fly to new jersey in October for the weekend training. From Philly airport about 30 minutes or 2 hours from Baltimore(southwest)  You will learn a lot from the training as well as networking  with some experienced guys.  I haven't seen anyone on the board from Atlanta.  You are in a great market.  Make some money with your pumps and  then invest in one of AC's softwash rigs and become authorized.  I lived near Atlanta in 1996-98 and you are in a great market if you have the right training.  You should be able to easily have average sales of around $1,000 per job if you market yourself properly.  1st season is for learning/making mistakes and a little money in your pocket, 2nd year you make real good living, and 3 rd year you expand if you want and be a real business

I will be there. Hope I can go to both. But mean while I need to make some money. So is bleach wash and green wash all I need to buy along with sh or ch or both, is one better then the other. My pump should be coming in soon.

Check and see if you have a Leslie's pool supply close, if not go online and get on there email list for online coupons and specials and pick up some fnc while your there. I was in there store last week and 100 lbs. of 73% power powder pro was $199 in store regular price. Yeah and don't forget the plant wash.

In my opinion, Sh is easier and faster to work with. Ch isn't supposed to harm plants. Personally I use sh, if you take precautions and pay attention the pros out weighs the cons
