Hi all!
I am new to posting here so please give me some guidance. I am finding a large discrepancy between the numbers I am finding with the TFP test kit and the "Alex" computer testing system at the pool store. Let me say, "I am a believer!". My pool was finished in August and it has been clear and sparkly from day one. I have not shocked it once since it has been in the ground as I haven't had to. I had my boric acid, from Duda Diesel, ready when the thirtieth day after the pool was filled hit. I just need to know if the discrepancy in the numbers below are telling about the Biolab testing system used at the local pool store or my testing ability. Does anyone know exactly how accurate and foolproof one of these computerized disk type testing things are?
Thanks,
