I'm curious how much tracking of test results you are all maintaining. I've seen posts on this forum about tracking what you put into your pool over time so that you can help spot trends or at least better understand what you most recently put in the pool when bad things start to happen.
When I first started up my new pool and was using the Aqua Check test strips (don't shoot me...I've since converted to TF-100!!), I was recording my test results in the little book that came with the strips and also recording any chemicals that I added. When I converted over to the TF-100 kit, I've been recording my results in pencil on the chart provided on the cover of the test kit. However, this chart doesn't have anywhere to record any remedial action you've taken, and also will get erased once I hit the end of the chart.
I'm one of those types who likes to keep electronically organized records for things such as this (just ask me about the Excel Workbook I was keeping during the construction of the pool!! LOL). But before I go crazy and create my own Excel spreadsheet or something like that to permanently track my test results and remedies, I was wondering what others were doing and if anyone has any tools they'd be willing to share.
It would be great if the Pool Calculator (or better yet, the iPhone version!) was able to maintain this record (version 2??!!)
Thanks!
