I have a smaller Taylor test kit i have been using to help with Ph and F/C and I have been taking samples weekly to Pinch a Penny for analysis. I was told they will always have you buying something so I am aware, however their tests have been consistent with my own as far as Ph and F/C are concerned. Unfortunately the Pebbletec installer told me I had to keep 12 months of water chemistry record printouts from a commercial store to avoid voiding the warranty. I prefer the Taylor kits so I will probably get the K-2006 recommended here.
The water is clear so far and we have been keeping the heat on around 84 deg. Salt is showing steady 3500-3600 readings both from the store and my Ichlor 30.
F/C is 7ppm and Ph is 7.6. CYA 40 hardness 270 and Alk 140
I have some fine tuning to do but as far as im concerned learning how to adjust for these is half the battle. I was considering grabbing a PH meter also.
I keep a supply of Chlorine, stabilizer, and Acid on hand for adjustments. Hopefully that will get me through this first year.
Any advice is appreciated I am absorbing as much as I can to get up to speed asap.
