Positronic said:How does one aerate the pool short of jumping in a playing around? Also, is there a recommended brand of salt strip testers that is carried at one of the big box stores, or, possibly at a pool store?
You can aim the return jet so it breaks the surface of the water with a churning action. You can also get a fountain or make an aerator out of pvc. The fountain and aerator come with the added bonus of helping to cool down the pool a few degrees when it is really hot outside. Google homemade aerator or above ground pool fountain to see a few examples.
