Hey folks. I am a second year pool owner but have struggled for both years. I'm looking forward to the expertise here to help me become a better steward of my pool. I look forward to eventually being able to give back to the community once I get on the better side of pool maintenance.
 
Welcome! This is the best decision you will ever make regarding pool care.

Get one of our recommended test kits ordered -- you're going to need it. Don't flinch at the cost as it will pay for itself many times over.


While waiting for your kit, start reading our Pool School to learn what the TFP method is and why it works.

And stay away from Pool Stores!

I have a K2005 and about 2 weeks of testing logs on a new thread awaiting approval.
 
You'll also need a FAS-DPD test to measure FC above 10 ppm to follow the TFP method. That is the only thing lacking from the K2005. I believe you can find one online for around $35. That will give you the equivalent of a K2006.
