I put it up to white background outside. 7.6 with 70 TA. What I am concerned about and really what is interesting is that I’ve owned this pool 3 months and never manipulated TA or PH. I’ve literally just kept up the liquid chlorine levels. I’ve had rain, I’ve added water via hose when pool...

PH testing with Taylor kit. Should I do in sunlight? Indoors? In shade? Should I put it to the sky? Should I put it toward a white background? The colors all look different! What is most accurate way to view?

When you adjust pool with chemicals how do you do it? As in do I just dump liquid chlorine in when needed or is there a certain way? Should o do it in deep or shallow end? Should I walk the perimeter and dump? Should I do it with pump running or without? How about borax? I guess the...

did #8 - I got 60x2 = 120

Here is pic, I cannot see the black dot from the top.

I think I did the testing right: Chlorine - 10 PH - 7.0 Alk - 60 CH - 130 CYA Test - I can’t even measure it because I’m not putting enough in before I can’t see the black dot Water Temp - 78F

Hi Everyone. I’ll own my first pool on July 21. The previous owner has been doing your method in which he mentioned BBB which has been renamed as I now know. Anyway, his water is unbelievable and the guy is super meticulous and expert level with his pool. I don’t have a single clue so here I...
