Hello, I am excited to join TFP! I consider myself relatively experienced at caring for pools, but have recently been experimenting with using a well known national pool care chain for weekly testing and recommendations about balancing my pool chemicals. I am excited to “wean” myself from this, and learn how to better handle the testing and balancing myself! I am curious what special considerations there are for the specific geographic region I reside in (in other words - what implication does the extreme summer heat in the Phoenix area have for pool care - I already have my ideas about this from experience…)
