Hello from Tucson, AZ

[jingo6390]

I recently decided to fire my pool guy and try to look after my pool by myself. I am looking forward to doing so with both excitement and trepidation!

Welcome to the forum!

If you wish to care for your pool and keep it TFP clean, I recommend you order one of two test kits the forum endorses. The best value is the TF100 from TFTestkits.net or in the west, Pool Supply World. You can also use the Taylor K2006C. Be sure you get the kit with a C on then end of the model. The regular kit has small reagent bottles.

Take care -- and welcome again!

Best decision I ever made, you will not be dissapointed. A little bit of work and thinking time involved, but well worth it. Good luck.

Thank you. I have ordered the TF100.

Welcome to TFP jingo6390

You've done the right thing but I'm sure you'll regret it at first. It can be a bit of an adventure learning how to do it all yourself. As you get more and more confident with testing and correcting it starts to get really simple and it's very rewarding knowing your pool is not only looking good but it's sanitary. You will also be doing it for a lot less $$ than the guy coming out or going to a pool store. Better water quality, less money . . win win

Here is a link to the TF100 videos on "How To" and you might also want to consider that stirrer. It's so much easier letting it do the stirring while you're adding drops and trying to count. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNFkPFCkt9Y_YYNAeLtUr1g

I bought the stirrer. It's a wonderful gizmo!
