Still reading and not leaping. Thanks guys. I did a search on the Lamotte ColorQ here and saw that there were some large variances using the ColorQ. Now...I'm still looking. I am looking at the eXact Micro 10, Scuba II, or a just the Taylor stirrer for my K-2006.

What ever came of this? I see nothing further. Thinking about the Scuba II as well. When I searched Google this thread came up. More info, please?

I think I am going to go with a Lamotte ColorQ Pro 7. Amazon has them for $138. Still uses drops, but everything is digital and automated. Out of 123 reviews only 20 people rated it 3 stars or lower. That's 103 people that rated it 4 or 5 stars. Seems to working for most (84%) users.

The primary reasons are due to the time and effort involved in testing using the drops and how often it has to be done. Secondly I'd like to have my wife and kids start helping out and trying to explain a manual process to them is like pulling teeth from a bear. They were born and live and...

Thanks WoodyP. I did read that thread, but it's 5 years old. I read about 5 other threads as well, using the suggested "search" function. Most of those results were 2-5 years old. I figured with technology the way it is, things may have changed a bit. Most threads only recommend one tester...

Hello All, I've been using a K-2006 by Taylor to test my water. I've seen apps and digital readers and I'm interested in a digital reader. Anyone out there using some sort of digital reader to measure their chemicals? I was looking at these: eXact Micro 10 Photometer TruTest AquaChek 6 in 1...

Excellent. Thank you. I'm looking over the PoolMath link now.:D

How much bleach? duraleigh, I am being extremely courteous, I thought. I just wanted to know how much bleach to add and I'm getting an answer of "some". I don't know what that means. jblizzle, to answer you specifically, I am using the Nature2 Fusion Soft 1400 SWG with a Zodiac Nature 2...

What does add "some" bleach mean?! I don't have a measurement labeled, "some". I was told not to worry about FC until the water temp was higher. It's been hovering around 52° for 2 days now. I know that over the next few days that will rise with the higher temps. Prior to today the water...

"In the green" means, everything is balanced and where it should be. ALK: 120 PH: 7.4 Free CL: 0 HRD: 250 CYA: 80 I'm using a Taylor K-2006 kit and a dip.scan.swim system for testing. I'm not following you here. I just installed the Zodiac Nature 2 DuoClear 25 Mineral Replacement Cartridge...

Hey Guys/Gals, Just had my pool finished in November. I've been running my pool all winter with the dummy Nature2 DuoClear 25 cartridge filter in the FusionSoft. I just put the real filter in place tonight as we're expecting temps in the 70's over the next few days and I figure now is as good...

Thank you guys. Great information. Happy to be here.

No issues! Everything is running smoothly. Water temp is 36° and climbing!

It's too late and too cold to drain the above ground plumbing. I did wrap the plumbing with some towels. I'll let you all know how it turns out tomorrow!

Excellent! Anything else I need to be concerned with?
