Saying hello from sunny-ish California! I just got my Taylor pool kit in and can't wait to get rid of all the expensive pool maintenance and pool store people in my life. I tested my pH and it was ~7.9. Calcium hardiness was 500 but the test was super light blue so could be a big higher. Haven't figured out the other tests yet but I was a biochemistry major in college (but its been a while LOL) so hoping I can get to the bottom of this soon
