Hello, I turned my pump & filter off for two days. An above ground pool, round, 17,200 gal, liquid chlorine, sand filter, 1.5 hp pump. For these two days I have not seen any reoccurrence of what I thought was algae. Nothing in the usual places or spots. Does this mean it is just dust and...

slcresswell, I feel your pain.! I too am battling the same problem. I have a Taylor test kit, not cheap. I even ordered another several recommended I get that had more stuff in it, but mostly just the silly magnetic speed stir thing. I sent it all back. You would think as much as they...

Thanks. I read the instructions with the gauge.

Yes, I have emailed them with what I received and am currently awaiting a reply. So, we shall see. I knew there had to be a connection to all three. Too many of the same items, etc. with them.

Hello again, I thought you might like to know. I received my new TF-Pro kit today, and frankly I was rather disappointed. I had also purchased the pH tester. It came in its own protective container which was apparently forced into the TF-Pro kit; thereby breaking the protective box for the pH...

Ok. Thank you so much. I didn’t know the color compare test was limited to 5ppm and that it could go higher than 20 ppm with a correct test.

Ok. Thanks. Which kit do you recommend?

Ok, I'll read them again. I must have missed the part that said FC levels could go beyond 5 and up to 20 or more. Thank you for helping a slow old man at learning new tricks. I'll order whole new test kit.

Ok, so I understand with either one of the two test kits you recommend I will obtain readings for SLAM FC level to be 20? Rather than the .5 to 5 range I am now experiencing ?

Ok, so the FC results I am getting from the Taylor K-1005 DPD 9-in-1 Test Kit are wrong.? This so confusing! The TFP Pool Math Calculator uses FC levels to be 4.0 to 8.0 yet your references (and others) are to double digits. i.e. 20 or 50.

.75 oz.

Taylor K-1005. I bought this kit before I found TFP

My Taylor test kit shows a scale of .5 through 5 for FC. My test this morning shows FC at 5. Should I bring it down to 2 for it to kill the mustard algae?

Thank you very much for your help!
