Test kit, sorry typo

Thank you, is the TF-100 a good yest kit?

Which Taylor test kit do you currently recommend for 14k gallon pool?

Another question please, will the chlorine level go down in a closed pool? Do you know how long it takes while being covered? Thanks.

Thank you for your help.

Hi, Thank you for your reply. Would waiting a few weeks and then pull back the cover and add algaecide help ?

My pool was closed yesterday. Due to a heavy rainstorm my pool had stains from leaves and debris. I put in 2 lbs of dichlor and brushed the pool to remove the stains during closing after the water level was dropped below the tile. The pump was not running at that time. I asked the man from...

Hi, Thank you for your reply. I bought my own Taylor Pool test kit last year and I need to replace some of the reagents. I usually try to do it myself, although I admit to still being a nubie, as this was something that my late husband took care of. I am still learning so I appreciate the...

Hi , I have been using bleach since reading your last reply. I test multiple times a day with the Taylor K-2006 test kit. I show FC values with the test kit, but when I use Aqua Chek Select or LaMotte test strips I always see no FC with the strip. My current readings with the test kit are...

Hi, I have been using bleach to chlorinate the pool for almost a week. I am using the Taylor k-2006 test kit. I am trying to double check myself with aqua check select test strips. With Taylor test kit this morning I got the following: FC=5.5, CC=.5, TA=160, PH=7.6. The test strips agree with...

Thank you for your quick reply and your help. I will let you know how things are going in a couple of days.

Hi All, Thanks for your replies. I used the K6000 test kit yesterday and today. Yesterday, FC=5,CC=5, PH=7.8 - 8.0 and TA =180, CYA=50. I went went ahead and added 1lb of dry acid to bring down the PH. I tested again this morning and I got the following readings today: FC=5,CC=5,PH=7.8,TA=180...
