Both are getting old so thinking about replacing. Been reading about variable speed pumps, seems to be the way to go. Prefer cartridge filter system. Any suggestions as to a combination of units? I have 5 dogs so there is a lot of dog hair run thru the system. Live in Florida, run pump about...

It was the solution. Bought a new bottle at the local pool store, worked perfectly. Threw the two bottles I bought at walmart out. thanks again.

Tested it with tap water, same result. Will get a new test kit. Thanks!

I guessed at the two ounces, it is a standard test kit you would get at home depot. What is strange is it.has always worked before so I think the person who told me the solution might be bad is on the right track

Solution was brand new, kit (the plastic vial?) is a few years old but it is just the plastic. Chlorine, use 3" tablets in a feeder from the pump. Shocked the pool with bleach recently though.

I store the test kit outside in a plastic box (have done this for years). Solution #2 is phenol red, I add 5 drops to test the ph per the kits instructions (remeber this has always worked before). Pool test results from pool store: TC 2.0 FC 2.0 CC 0 PH 7.0 (I added 2 lbs baking soda after...

Have a cheap test kit (plan to get a better one) but it has always "worked" in the past. Now when I add solution #2 to test the ph the water does not change colors. Bought a new bottle of #2, no change. I took a sample to my pool store and the ph was 8.0 so added acid, my test kit showed no...
