    New pool owner. Firs test with FT-100. Please help

    can I use speedstir for all my tests or is it not necessary? Also, with CH test there are some particles in the water after 1st or 2nd solution is added. I think this is what that one store is looking at to determine whether the next solution need to be added or not. What are those things? I...

    What are these geen \ brown \ black dots?

    I'm a new in-ground pool owner. First when the pool was opened it had some brown \ green spots.
