The first time I met with this client I did not have tools with me as they weren't needed for that visit. I was simply there to determine if he needed a new filter or not. After inspecting his filter it was determined he needed a new filter. So I came back the next day to install, tools and all.
While it was hot and my blood sugar was low, as mentioned, I installed the filter. After the filter was installed, I came back a few days later to inspect my work because I had done it in the high heat and knew it was possible I made an error.
Guess what? My work wasn't right and I fixed the pipe/fitting leak on the spot. All I sold this client was a filter and installation. This client is nearly 50 miles from me, and since he was an educator I sold him the filter and installation at a discount, I figured I did right by him.
While there on the follow-up, I replaced a fuse on the salt cell and the system worked flawlessly developing chlorine before I left. Later if failed again. I made clear to the client that I was not the company he bought the PoolEx Chlorinator from.
I pointed out if I had sold and installed it, I would happily provide warranty work, but since I had to pay for any parts, I couldn't do it free. If you buy an item at Wal-Mart and it fails, you can't take it back to Target and ask for a new one. Same principle.
