Hello! Lots of helpul topics on here. I am in Dallas, have a pool that i didnt pay much attention to for 3 years until I re-plastered last week. Pool service handles all of the maintinance, but now that i have fresh plaster i plan to get involved.

Welcome.
If you are going to "get involved," you really need your own test kit. Pool school has a section explaining the tests and what you need. With you living in Texas, I suspect high Calcium will be a concern, so get a speedstir. It makes the CH test bearable.
The pool service I fired used test strips! Which explains why, when I first tested my water with a proper kit, pH was off the scale, CYA was somewhere around 220-240... So much for hiring a professional!

how do you add a signature? It looks and i read that it is helpful for others to see to know how to adress issues with pool if general stats are known.
