Thanks for this insight. I don't like the idea of my kids swimming in a pool loaded with more chemicals than it needs, but I started wondering if I could "cut corners" during the times when no one is using the pool. If I understand the comments correctly, adding chemicals precisely as needed...

I've been maintaining a crystal clear pool for one year now thanks to TFP! I add liquid chlorine to my pool every 1-2 days and muriatic acid every 2-3 days. Chlorine tabs only when I'm out of town for more than 3 days. My question is: How is a pool guy's WEEKLY care different from my DAILY...

Plano (brand) 2-tray Tackle Box purchased from my local sports store Academy. is also available online for similar price I gotta give credit to TFP forum for that idea too!

I spend 5 mins checking my water chemistry and another 5 mins admiring my test kit. Thanks @mguzzy for the fantastic reference guide!

Any chance you’d be willing to sell me a laminated copy of yours? Mine got wet and smeared pretty quickly since I don’t have a laminator. The quick reference card has been SO USEFUL for newbies like me to glance and go

Here is the link to my Pool Tests reference guide. It's set to view-only, but if you save a copy, you may be able to customize it as needed.

Fantastic! If you move the Salt column to the left of TA, you level up visually since it's more consistent with a rainbow :love:

How is salt measured? Its not in my TF100 kit, but I'll be happy to modify this reference guide

Round to the greater number line? I need to simmer on this wording

Hah gradation is what is written on the kit instructions. I did not know abt rounding up, and that wording is tricky since “Up” on the cylinder is the lower number. Perhaps this can be clarified on the original instructions?

It came with the house, and I don't know what it is but I haven't given it much attention.

I'm ok, but in case you were still curious see attached. Label is faded
