And Here's Another Reason to Hire a Professional Pool Service Technician

A Pennsylvania woman was rushed to the hospital for treatment of burns to her head, ears and eyes on June 24, 2009 after mixing pool chemicals in the backyard of her home. The homeowner claimed that she had been maintaining her pool just fine for the past 20 years. On the day of the explosion she said the pool was green (. . . huh?). She had a couple of bags of chlorine shock and a small amount of granular chlorine, but she concluded that she didn't have enough of either to properly treat the pool. That was when she decided to mix them together causing an explosion that reached two stories high. She was later quoted as saying "I feel like I've been laying in the sun for three months" when describing her injuries.
