Some good news - after great effort and cost my Taylor k-2006 is arriving within the next week!

Oh! I must add, I'm using chlorine (all manual at the moment), no chlorinator at all at this stage. My readings are as follows (posted earlier in this thread, the problem existed when the readings were as below as well): Stabilizer: 20 FC: 1.3 Total: 1.3 PH 7.8 TA: 107 CH: 215 Test readings...
