    Just taking over care of my pool and overwhelmed.

    Sorry for your loss. First step is to get a good test kit. Don't rely on strips or a pool store because both are historically proven to be wrong. After you get the test kit, we will get you up and running.

    Question about order of importance on test results

    Would a pool light off center this much bother you?

    It would bother me! But then I reset all the concrete forms after the workers left because they weren't square to the existing concrete patio. Sometimes being an engineer is a curse.
