    PH Testing

    Maybe a dumb question, maybe not. I do the Taylor drop test for my PH in the small tester that does both PH and Chlorine. My question is, after adding the 5 drops, do you simply invert the container a couple times or shake to mix? Simple invert, my PH is high, shake to mix, PH is around 7.6-7.8.

I had to close my pool earlier than I wanted to last year due to having back surgery at the end of September, so I expected it to be a mess. So I got everything started up and circulating, vacuumed to waste and shocked it last night...
