:suspect: find, you will okay, i'm ready for it... :hammer:

Thanks Jason -- I'll add another dose of acid. I've been hitting up all the stores around here to get ready for the borax blast. Most places only have 2 or 3 boxes of the 20 mule in stock, so it's been a bit of a scavenger hunt. :)

I've been going back and forth with the PH and TA, trying to get the TA down to a reasonable level (mainly hoping to get it stabilized, so that the PH won't rise so much). So far, it's been working pretty well and the TA is steadily coming down. Last night, I had the following test result: FC...

I love the fountain water feature-That's a neat touch.

Aww, but those videos look so cool with the guy testing poolside. :party: That makes a lot of sense though -- testing inside will also make it easier to use those excel spreadsheets to track the levels.

Good deal. I just added the muriatic acid and bleach. I'll run another test tomorrow...maybe the ph will be on the chart. :lol: Gotcha -- okay, I'll find a better place for the kit. We have a little building next to the pool. It's not exactly climate controlled, but it usually doesn't get too...

Super excited to get the tf-100 kit in the mail today and I ran my first round of tests. The pool has been up for almost a month now and from the InstaTest3 test strips I had, I knew the PH was too high. Here are my more exact numbers from today's test: FC - 2 CC - 0 TA - 250 PH - looks like...
