HI! You are going to LOVE it here! So will your wallet! LOL
And Kim means that in the sincerest possible way. The $ you save by taking control of your testing and adding only those chemicals that are needed will save you from the hidden costs of "free" pool store testing (the bait) and being talked into buying "magic elixirs" (the switch) that do nothing but drain your wallet.
