I've been a long time reader of the TFP forums. I took over the maintenance of my pool a few years ago when I retired. I thought I knew what to do, until I didn't. I researched the internet with each question or issue I encountered. I finally came to the realization that the most straight forward pool methodology, consistent help, kind answers and positive support was on and from the users at TFP. I've recently decided I'm done with the pool stores, test strips and mixing and matching pool maintenance methodologies. I ordered a Taylor test kit and look forward to reading through the Pool School.
