Wow! that spreadsheet made my head spin :-D Can't wait to delve into it when I get back home (though it seems I will be in over my head pretty soon...) Richard, I hope you don't mind me asking but I'm really curious - Is your knowledge of chemistry the result of a hobby or of...

Thanks loop_pea - I don't recall ever using the "effect of adding chemicals" section of the calculator. Works like a charm :goodjob:

Hi Jason, Richard, I am not sure who the owner of "the pool calculator" is, but I thought that if anyone can help it's probably you. Since I use Trichlor to reach the stabilization of the pool, I think it would be great if the section on CYA also contained the very useful detail that CYA is...

OK, now I see what I've been missing... the test uses both reagents... :oops:

Thanks James, That sure clears it up for LaMotte. I wonder if that holds for the Taylor kits as well...

Thanks Freelancer. After some experience with electronic testing equipment, I decided I'd rather use simple, reproducible, no-maintenance testing devices. I hope that in the ColorQ case, their electronics are off, which would mean I could still use their other simpler kits. Unfortunately...

Apparently there is a distributor for LaMott test kits in Israel (finally!), and I am looking into it. I was wondering if anyone here used their kits (not the electronic, ColorQ ones) and can provide feedback. What I was not sure about was the FAS/DPD reagent. They seem to refer to a DPD #1...

Thanks a lot teapot, Jason. I just had to make sure...

I'm sorry - there is no forum for idiots so I used this one as my question is related to chemistry/health. I was clumsy enough to drop a DPD tablet into the pool :grrrr: Talk of my crusade to keep chemicals to a minimum in my pool! DUH! So, what's the impact? is it nothing or do I dump 15...
