What I use - do you mean test kit? I had the T100 -then my husband took over and was just using stick from wherever. . . I fear that my T100 is now empty / out of date. . . I'll head out later to try to find one / order one. . ..should I just run the aqua-bot and pump while I'm waiting for...

We neglected our pool for a few weeks (life got in the way) - and it is dark green, smells bad, and has fuffy stuff on the benches and floating on top. I scared to run the pump or our aqua-bot because I think they are going to get contaminated. We usually use the chlorine generator and add...

So - we have been doing the SLAM thing and I think we are at the end of the process. Initally the pool was cloudy - it is much less cloudy, but still not crystal clear like it was all last summer. . . Do I need to wait longer. . . . any other tips? Testing today shows: FC 17 CC 0.5 (<1)...
