Hi all! I've had my pool now for a month using test strips. So far I haven't had any serious problems with maintaining my levels. The only problems I have is trying to keep the pH down and FC up. I add Clorox pH Lower and it does it's job. For low FC I add 1 lb. of shock and that seems to help but it doesn't last long.
I have a 30' x 54" AGP. When I look on line, it shows the capacity for this pool is 23,900 gallons. When I had it filled, the water guy told me he used approximately 22,000 gallons (not metered). So I've been using that number to calculate chemicals.
I see lots of people frown on the use of strips. I've looked into the different test kits and wonder if it is worth the cost. How long do these "drops" in your test kit last? How often would I need to buy a new kit. Do you actually get a specific number reading to enter into our Pool Math app?
Any kind of advice and suggestions are greatly appreciated! Happy Swimming!
