Hi all,
New here and loving all the information! I have read, and read and now maybe I'm being lazy but... I am going to buy a new test kit. I have seen reccommendations and appreciate them all! Should I get 2? One for quicky "monitoring" and one for real deal "testing" early season or if problems occur? I am not a pool rookie, but the sophistication level is so-so. I would have said it was high until I got here!! (THANKS) The degree of convenience varies between the better and cheaper kits, so should I have pretty aacurated and very easy as well as not so easy and dead-on accurate kit?
Also, do the liquid reagents expire? This could get very expensive. They say they do on the bottles? Do they really need to be replaced every year? I have tested reagents year to year with new ones and they read the same but I blindly followed the label and replaced them anyway.
Any suggestions would be appreciated! Love this, I can't believe how much I am learing.
