Hi all. I am a first time pool owner and am just getting my feet wet. I started my pool in May with trichlor tablets and the "recommended" weekly "shock". I am on my way to order my test kit but for now have been depending on strip and the OTO and pH test from Walmart. I am trying to take all this in to prevent any bad stuff from happening...so far my water looks good but would like to know it is good too. TX
