    which test kit to purchase?

    Thanks for recommendation! I looked at both TF100 xl with speedster and K-2006-c and decided TF100 will meet our needs better long term. I went ahead and ordered XL because I will probably need to run tests a few times until I figure out kit.

    Air in my filter

    Hoping for answers...since we are also experiencing air in cartridge filter container. We also get some chugging of air in the return hose and visibly into pool. We've checked all connections and replaced with new filter and still am baffled. ???

    We had cloudy water that we couldn't seem to get clear and found out our filter was "bad" or rather that the pool store gave us the wrong size square foot filter size so it couldn't filter completely. Didn't realize the issue until we rescheduled every angle of our cloudy issue. Bought proper...
