Proper Chemical Balance

all their levels are good.

I'd be tempted to ask them how they know that since they don't seem to test or care, either one. :lol:

they use test strips regularly

Alright, so basically they don't know anything. Might as well throw darts at a dart board to figure out their levels.

I agree with JohnN...test strips are often just slightly better than a random number generator. Bottom line, since they really don't know they are "getting lucky". Some people are quite successful this way for a long time, though one classic story of new members is "I did it this way for years and for some reason, this year it is not working." Also, since each pool is different, what "works" for a friend may or not work for another. We try to teach methods on here so that you know you will stay trouble free.
