H2OLogged,
Welcome to the forum! Please start a new thread with your questions instead of adding a new question to the bottom of an existing thread--it not only helps the responders keep their advice going to the right person, but it also helps keep the original thread from getting so far off topic that the original poster doesn't get their question answered.
You've got the "metals expert" from this forum on your case (Marie), I'm sure she can steer you in the right direction!! :)

Thanks for the feedback. I'm still reading and trying to get a handle on this stuff. Question about test kits. I have a kit but the readings only go to 3.0 on the chlorine and 8.4? on the PH. Do the better kits show levels of chlorine up to 10 and 15? Do I need a whole new test kit or new reagents? I'm off to the store to get whatever I need. Please advise.
Most test kits you can buy at Walmart, etc., will only show chlorine up to 3.0 or 5.0. To be able to test higher levels than that, you need a FAS-DPD test kit like the one Ben sells at www.poolsolutions.com. I don't know what your local pool store might sell in terms of kits. Maybe they have a FAS-DPD? Just be careful at a pool store and don't buy everything they might try and push on you.
