Hi there,
Would like to know about pool testing kits and what are considered to be the best?
Have recently moved into a new house which has a pool and being the newbie I am, seem to be running around in circles trying to get the pool up to scratch after recently uncovering it from our winter.
I have a generic 4 in 1 pool tester which could or could not be terribly accurate, but my real issue is that I'm colorblind and have had great issues with trying to match colors to the corresponding colors on the color chart.
Took a water sample to a pool shop yesterday to be told my PH is too high and to add acid, which I did last night. Also told that there is no Chlorine in the pool, so today I have disassembled and cleaned my SWG in acid solution to clean the elements etc and ramped it up to maximum output for chlorine production, so hopefully tomorrow when I take another reading things will have improved.
Also have a Hayward Ultra pool vac which is not working even though I have taken it apart checked all the moving parts etc but still not doing as it should and just seems to float a few inches of the bottom?
That's enough questions to begin with.
Cheers,
John
