She's the person we rely on and trust most at this place too. I am really surprised.

I'm not surprised. Here's what my pool service left us with after we'd been paying them to come twice per week.

And a month after that, the water got cloudy. That's when I fired them and took things into my own hands. Trouble free ever since.

Lesson learned: relying on a pool service is hazardous to your water quality and your wallet.

Wow that is crazy.

To be clear--I'm not solely relying on them. Our pool was just filled 2 months ago. We got them to agree to a weekly service for free due to some issues we had initially. I got a taylor kit and am getting more comfortable with it.

But yes, definitely move forward with the 10ml test and the 0.5 multiplication. Otherwise you'll burn through your reagents in no time with no real added value. Especially during a Slam.

The 25ml test with 0.2 multiplication is really only required when maintaining a pool with no CYA (not recommended), where the proper target FC is actually below 1ppm - well below 1ppm. Slam FC without CYA is actually still below 1ppm. 4ppm without CYA (which is considered acceptable by most regulations) is like 6 times harsher to your body and pool equipment than TFP's Slam FC with CYA according to the FC/CYA Levels.

What is the best place to find replacement reagents? With it being so high and using the 25mL option a bunch of times over the last few days, I'm a little concerned I don't have a bunch left.

What do you guys think about the possibility of this being some kind of metal stain?

Amazing what lighting can do. It looks pretty much fine when the sun is out, as it is today for the first time in a few days.

Looks very nice!
