    K-1766 Using Speed Stir vs. Hand Swirl

    Normally when I test for salt using the K-1766 I will do a hand swirl but today I tried my speed stir and received different results. Speed Stir- 13 drops and Hand Swirl- 17 drops.

    Taylor R-011L

    Stable pH so far this year

    Hi Everyone- since opening my pool this year my pH has been stable at 7.7 with TA at 60. For the past two years, my pH was always rising and never consistent. Looking at my logs from last year TA was at the highest 80 and lowest 70. Could I have found a sweet spot with my pool with my TA at 60?

    @Oly Yes, I use K-1766 I find my test reading at 2100 and my SWG showing 2400. That's always fun finding the happy medium. Plus I stained my finger for the first time after pouring out the tube.

    Hi Everyone- My pool is opening today here in NJ and and a cold front is coming my way after tomorrow. I currently have a dummy pipe in place of my SWG, question is- should I put in my SWG and let the liquid chlorine run through? Any harm there? Weather temps are looking better next week and...
