First off, I have been using strip tests for two years on my pool in the past, and until I found this website, I never considered otherwise. I will also note, that until this website, i have never had a clear looking pool! Just to compare tests tonight, i tested the strip test and then my k-2006 drip test kit and WOW!, what a difference in results I got. Plus it makes you feel like a chemist
Strip:
FC- 0
TC-0
TA- above 240
CYA- between 0-30
pH- above 8.4
Drip Test:
FC- 1.4
TC- .8
TA- 270
CYA- 0
pH- 7.4
So the major difference to me is the exact number you can get with the drip test where the strips are completely vague and impossible to get a exact reading. Thanks for all the info and great recommendation on products to buy!
