The reagents are less than 6 months and are in good condition. I look after my photometer well but the new Taylor kit takes away the reliance on kit…. So will use that

This is amazingly helpful- thank you. Am playing with my new Taylor k2006 set and will be going with this in future. I will also raise the set point on Ph and see what happens. Thanks for the explanation

Ok this makes much more sense than me dismissing it out of hand. I make sure the device is clean, batteries are charged fully, that the reagent tablets are well kept dry and in a stable environment and don’t get old…. The plaintest is led lightsource so there shouldn’t be an issue there...

I shocked the pool - I haven’t used it through the winter so that seemed to work and because it’s very sunny here the chlorine levels dropped back to normal quickly.

Thank you for this. It seems my distrust of the digital representation of my SWG was well founded and having done some research here I can see why ORP readings can be chased but are often not giving you the true picture. All good there. Now where I am more interested is in the space of the...

I have an outdoor pool.

Great I will order one of those now.

Ha ok - then let loose - what can I go find out and what’s the best way? I am genuinely interested in learning

Well it shows up as under 10 on my strip too. So what do you recommend? Are you usually this direct? 🤣 The numbers all show the same whatever test I do. The system has been working like a dream for nearly 3 years and this has just happened.

Using a palintest photometer!

Sorry my thumbs mistyped- CYA is actually 2.

Hey I have a zodiac salt water chlorinator and I am wanting to use my pool but am struggling to get everything in check. I have tested using my palin test kit. Fc 4.2 Fc 4.3 Ph 7.2 and same on my zodiac sensor TA 120 CYA 2 ORP 580 So I am in a bit of a spiral as my system at 580 keeps on...

Ha! Any thoughts on where to start investigation?

Hello, Thanks to this forum I am finally understanding my pool. Unfortunately due to a very naive pool dude we now have a CYA at 140.... I need to test the Chlorine but my Photometer only goes up to 10ppm.... the test said it was greater than 10 ppm. Our pool dude has been using stabilised...
