It is. The eldest had him in the pool one day before we decreed no pets in the pool (after we saw the picture which is very cute) Kit has been added to my signature. Thanks again so very much

Awesome, thanks so much @kimkats. I'm excited about this more involved journey. I am sure that I will have more questions as we go. Now time for some maintenance - a little vacuum, a little filter cleaning and then put the ladder in and the kids are on their way!

I've been reading that, and that was part of my first post, trying to decipher what all of the numbers were doing. If I look at the recommended levels for each with a SWG vinyl pool, vs my actuals: FC - minimum of 3 with a target of 5 with CYA at 70 (mine is above the minimum at 3.25)✅ CC -...

I’ve received my test kit and as an ex-chemistry guy from high school and college, I am really happy. I’ve been calling it my chemistry set! My daughter who is headed for a science degree says I’m working on a lab, lol. Back to reality ? Here are the numbers... FC - 3.25 CC - 0.5 pH - 8.0 TA...

@kimkats, thanks so much for the guidance. I will let it go for now then. Just waiting for the real kit :)

The kit I picked up was a basic kit (Aquarius from Canadian Tire) with the Phenol Red and OTO for Chlorine. The pH seems to be pretty stable (floating around 7.5/7.6 according to the best I can read that chart on the test bottle referencing the color. I have the heater on now (set to 65), so...

Finally got things checked, and my juggling with the various test strips worked out OK. pH was pretty good, sitting at 7.5. TA is a little high at 88; however, CYA is low as is FC (mostly because it's too cold for the SWG to be turned on). I put things into Pool Math and I added some liquid...

Great idea Kimkats, I will see what I can grab

Hi, I've been lurking for a while and the recent closings of the pool companies in my area have prompted me to get more involved in the testing and such of the pool. So with that in mind, I have a K2006 on its way to me and will be here in a week or so. That being said, I took off the cover...
