Hello everyone, I'm feeling quite desperate and would appreciate some advice. Each spring for the past three years, when I open my pool, I run into a problem with the liner floating. To deal with this, I typically remove one of the return jet face-plates, attach a lubricated ABS pipe...

Hi all ! I'm working on a program to estimate the pH from a picture of a phenol red based comparator test to help getting more precise result than with only eyes (and of course for colorblind people). I've based my tests using the TF-100 Comparator Block and the results so far are quite good...
