Hello,
OK. I finally got my K-2006C test kit and Speedstir. It is nice. I think I now have everything I need to perform my own tests without relying to the pool store which make me feel great.
But now that I have everything in front of me, I am intimated and I am not sure how to do my setup and how to proceed to have accurate results.
Is it better to be installed inside or outside to perform the tests?
First thing is to collect pool water in a bottle to be used for the tests. From what I read, first tests should be chlorine and pH and proceed with the other tests after.
Should I use the Speedstir for all the tests?
I read many posts about the CYA test. It is a complicated test. It must absolutely be done during the day on a sunny day if I read properly. There is no other way. Now, the question will be see or not see the dot. It is probably my French Canadian origins but I don't understand the glancing thing. Google gave me the definition of a brief look. So if at a point the dot is supposed to be hidden, I should be able to notice a difference with a quick look?
Any other advice or comments would be greatly appreciated. I suppose that completing the first tests sets will take a long time and as I get use to it it will get faster...
Thanks again everybody
