Hi All,
I am a very new pool owner. Plaster/fill day was 2 weeks ago. I bought a TF-Pro test kit and have been testing a lot. My pool builder wants us to have water tested at a pool store weekly, I think mostly as a paper trail. Today I took water off to be tested at un-named pool store and the results surprised me. Specifically PH seems pretty different to me. I show ph at 7.2 (double checked when I got home) and pool store shows 7.5. I guess a few 10ths isn’t a lot but pool builder wants us to keep the water at 7. Anyhow really just wondering how accurate the test kit Vs pool store should be.
