Brenda, the first thing you need to do is get your own test kit. Once you have that it is easy!
Here is the link to the one we use and love:
TFTestkits.net
While you are waiting for your test kit to come in start reading here:
Pool School - ABCs of Pool Water Chemistry
It will take quite a few reads for all of it to make sense but you will get it with our help!
Here is what we use to take care of our pools. Most of it can be bought at Target or Walmart! How neat is that??
Pool School - Recommended Pool Chemicals
Let us know when you get your test kit and we can walk you though the tests!
