What do you use to measure your chemicals?

[Mamiamjo]

Just getting our first pool filled this week so forgive the stupid question, but I was wondering what you use to measure out your pool chemicals? Do you have dedicated measuring cups/ pitchers for each chemical?
Or maybe a set that you use for multiple items!
Just trying to get organized here

I just estimate right from the jug. Less handling, less chance of spilling.

But, your pool is smaller so you may want to use a large plastic measuring cup.

look for a cheap quart sized plastic cup or pitcher that has ounces marked off on it. Restaurant supply houses would have them cheap.

I got two different colored, plastic measuring cups from the dollar store. One for muratic acid and one for all other stuff. I made sure they had oz. printed on them.

Granger has a 64oz. pitcher with graduated markings for ounces. Good strong plastic with a nice handle. I love it.

I'm w/ Jason. Some jugs even have graduated markings to simplify estimating.

I did buy a measuring cup w/ a built-in digital scale for weighing dry chemicals. Found it online, seems to work fine, wasn't expensive. As gadgets go, it's good, but I don't brag on it like I do my 5-star gadget, the Speedstir!!!

Cheers!
