With liquid you need to use the whole bottle & rinse it well a few times to get an accurate dose. It disperses oddly inside the bottle no matter how much u try to mix it - pouring 1/2 gallon doesn’t necessarily net you what poolmath said it would- the most potent goo will remain in the bottle. so unless u need a whole bottle’s worth go with dry. It’s also more expensive
So the regular "5 drop" (sorry don't know the abbreviations yet)chlorine test isn't good? Is it ok for the ph test?
It's as accurate as a test strip. It's OK if you know you should have between 6-10 Fc and it reads as such and you aren't testing for real until tomorrow.
Yes. 100% Great for Ph. My block bothered me and I had it on a saw to cut the useless half off when i realized what a nice handle the FC side was. Now I thank it everytime I use it.
Sure does
The sock method may take a day, but it didn't get trapped in the filter like if you added it to the skimmer. That's when it takes several days or a week.
Every little bit helps. And whatever already dissolved is helping somewhere in the pool.
