Hello,
I'm a fairly new pool owner and new to this site. I bought a home last year that had a 18x36 in ground pool with a salt cholorinator as source for chlorine production. I used it a month last year before closing. In that time i was having my water tested by a local pool store and they were selling me lots and lots of chemicals. Anyway i found this site a few days ago and since have decided to get away from lining their pockets. I bought my Borax, Baking Soda, etc. My question is on testing. Since i have a Salt Chlorinator the chlorine levels last year were always very stable when i took it in the store. I do have test strips as well. Although i see on this site that those are not very accurate. Which kit should i be looking at buying and do i need to monitor chlorine as much meaning every day instead of every week like i was doing because of my chlorinator. Thanks so much.
