Can I report my neighbor for using too much pool chemicals? That doesn't sound like much, but you should smell the place. I'm talking about a smell so strong, it's like running into a brick wall. I think they call the stuff pool "shock." It gives off a very strong citrus odor, but not a nice citrus odor. A heavy chemical citrus odor. The neighbor even admits to using twice the amount necessary. Whoever swims in that pool is going to have some strange unexplained ailments in about 20 years I tell you that.
