Hey Folks,
I appreciate this forum and what it has to offer new pool owners like myself. This is my first post and I am trying to ascertain a viable method of testing my water. I have posted all my pool information in my signature (hopefully).
Basically I have a salt water pool and I would like to find a moderately reliable way of testing the water. Now, since I am color blind, I cannot use the strips, etc. I have to rely on a digital option. To date, I have just been taking my water into Leslies on a regular basis and things have been working out well. I would, however, prefer to monitor things myself and try to only use the Leslie's option once every 3-4 weeks.
I have cruised this forum and numerous web sites looking for information about what digital monitors will be effective in a salt water pool keeping in mind that this is just a patch between Leslie visits. It seems many of the major names are not accurate when it comes to salt pools. I called up Leslies and asked them their advice...and they were not very helpful.
So, I am writing here hoping that some of you can lend me your knowledge and experience.
I really appreciate the help and I know that digital is not a great option but that is what I have to rely on to keep things clear.
Cheers.
