Now tell us how long that took, and how long before you bought your own test kit. This thread will be useful to convince doubters in the future!

I would say within a matter of weeks things were looking much better. I used the pool store for maybe one week for sample testing and that was only because my test kit was being shipped to me :)

I still love how people look at me with such shock when I tell them a simpler way! :mrgreen: It's priceless and honestly, you couldn't pay me to swim in their cess pools.

I would swim in yours though! When can I come over and um... can I bring my puppies and hubby? :mrgreen: I have to make sure the water is as perfect as it looks! :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
