One other thing you may want is a Rite in the Rain pad to use as a test result notebook. I use this one Amazon.com : Spiral Notebook, Universal, 4-5/8 x 7 in : Wirebound Notebooks : Office Products And everything I do to the pool gets written down in it. I figure if I ever have any problem at...

You're on the right track. One thing I've found that is almost invaluable is some of these Sams Club - Squeeze Bottle - Clear - 12 pk. I use them to get a sample of pool water for testing as they make it easy to put just the right amount in the sample tubes for each test. As you get closer to...

A pool service isn't really a good idea. I'm a bit over a month in and my pool is still consuming acid at around a half gallon a day (high TA fill water). If I went a week between balancing my PH would be high enough I would almost certainly be building scale and the water would be unswimmable...

Flys all the time here. Even on services we routinely do electrical, water, sewer, gas, phone, and cable all in the same ditch. This is just LV so it's even less of a problem. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Those are marker tiles. They identify the edge so you don't fall off accidentally. Some people here really like to bling them out. Denise (nursenini) comes to mind but there are many others. We decided to go plain as an offset to our light colored and blingy (lots of shells) plaster. Sent...

That's exactly what I have. Not sure what it does. I wasn't ever planning on replacing it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I went ahead and ordered a Taylor K-1239SC. Should give me a real answer on dissolved metals but will take a few days to get here. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
