Quick background...
I just have an AG Intex type pool. 2nd year having it. Last year did nothing but use tablets, test strips, and shock weekly. All seemed to go good. This year I read I should ad CYA not realizing the tablets already have that. Started to see a little algae(I think) form on bottom. Thinking my CYA is high so my free chlorine levels haven't been high enough to keep things right. Found this site and willing to purchase what I need to do things right.
Sooo, testing kit/supplies....
I'll get the TF-100 or K-2006c. Leaning towards k-2006c because I can get it delivered by Saturday. Does the TF-100 get shipped quickly? Also, once things are under control, what do you guys use to test FC levels daily? These kits only come with 70 tests. Do you just purchase more reagents for that one test?
Anything else I need initially? I have access to liquid sodium hypochlorite at 13% concentration. Will use that or store bought liquid chlorine.
I'll keep this thread up to date with my journey to getting properly treated water. Hopefully a few of you will help guide me along the way.
Thanks!
Phil
