I know this post is old but I'm curious as to what you named your Dolphin? I have one and love it, his name is Finn.

Awww, come on....Sometimes it's fun to see their test results... It's free with the chlorine purchase. I did pay $5 once to have them test my same water twice in a row. Not a surprise to have them get different results; one saying my PH was too low and the other too high. Don't worry, I won't...

I test my water with my Taylor K2006c kit before I go to the pool store. I like to see how their numbers differ from mine and my least favorite test is the CYA test, so it's nice to see their result. I'm amazed at all the things they try to sell me. (I buy liquid chlorine from them because...

When I took over my pool service, I was told I needed to add 400 lbs of salt to raise my salt level. My pool guy had stopped using it and used granules and pucks raising my cya to 140. The cell hadn’t been serviced and I didn’t know how to do it so I switched to liquid chlorine. Eventually I...
