G'day from Brisbane, Australia

[atomic_ute]

Hi all,

Quick introduction. Reporting in from Brisbane, Australia - where it's beautiful one day, perfect the next (when we're not flooded or experiencing a cyclone.)

Have been a pool owner for the past 2 years after having our pool built along with our house. Have previously been trekking down to the local poolshop each fortnight to get our water tested and my wallet emptied. After receiving some bad advice have decided to start testing and managing things myself. Have bought a Taylor K-2006 kit (lots of trouble getting my hands on one locally) so hopefully will be set.

Dealing with a high cyanuric acid and high chlorine problem at the moment which will see me emptying most of the water from the poolhttps://www.google.com.au/search?sa...ved=0ahUKEwinxovpo4DLAhVIGpQKHbZ8BP0QvwUIGSgA this weekend.

Hope to learn lots and ask relatively informed questions.

Cheers!

Welcome! Congrats on getting informed and ordering a great testkit! We love Aussies.... Jealous of the weather. My pool is iced over!

Pool looks great and welcome, mate. You can get Taylor refills from NQPoolTestKits when you need them.

Love the name. Is it an SS?

Gotta post here then: Who are you? How did u choose your handle?

Wait until you see what your water looks like when we are done with it!

That's a beautiful pool! Welcome!!!

 

[atomic_ute]

Thanks for the warm welcome all! Almost as warm as my pool at the moment

Love the name. Is it an SS?

^ This guy gets it... No not an SS. Petrol gauge drops to empty just looking at the accelerator pedal as it is. I'd have to get a second job to run a V8.

For all you confused Americans - Holden V6 Sports Utility in "Atomic Green". - Hence atomic_ute. A modern version of the Chevy El Camino.

Love someone else who is not afraid of color!

We had an SV6 in that colour for a while, affectionately known as Gramma's Green Car. I'm driving a boring but nearly immaculate '03 Calais that is amazingly comfortable Good to meet you, and yeh, as much as I'd love an SS... better buy more lotto tickets.

Confused American here. Cool ride! I haven't seen anything like that since the El Camino. Looks like a cross between the El Camino and a Subaru Brat!
