Complete pool newb here, but I'm quickly learning about the "joy" of pool ownership. We just opened the pool this week on Monday. Actually had the professional that put the pool in originally do it, as I knew nothing. Anyway, I took a water sample to the local store last night and here are my test results from the ClearCare Expert analysis. In short, they tell me I'm in chlorine lock and I need to drain 2 feet of water, refill, and check again. From what I'm reading around the interwebs, I'll more realistically need to drain over half the pool. Was hoping to get your input on the situation. Is it worth getting a second test done to verify things?
