So everything has been going great with the swim spa so far. However, the last 3 times I have tested Ph using a Taylor K-2006 test kit, the ph has read low, like 7.2 but if I re-test it right away with the same water sample it shows 7.6. The first time I figured I had the wrong number of drops...

Been using the BBB method for about 2 months now on my new-to-me swim-spa. Been exersizing my dogs in it and all is good. Just wondering what test on my Taylor kit would I see a change in if one of the dogs was to pee in the pool? Don't think they have but I have seen them pee in the water at...

So some plain bleach I picked up at Smart and Final says 8.25% Sodium Hypochlorite yet yields 7.66 % available Chlorine. Which number do I use in the "Pool Calculator" ?? THANKS!

Just getting started with a used Swim Ex therapy pool and plan on using it to condition my Agility dogs ... as well as myself. I have heard that a Saltwater pool might be better for them and their coat ... but those same people thought there was no chlorine in a salt system. I plan to keep on...

Just found this site this morning and have skimmed all over it... Lots of great stuff. I'm sure the answers are all here somewhere but I have a quick question... I am TOTALLY new to pool ownership! This is my situation: I recently installed a used SwimEx EX-400 in the back yard and am finally...
