2. You can take your chances with the pool guys you can find and afford, OR
3. You can take your chances with your local pool stores, OR
4. You can learn to take care of your pool your very own self.+ test your pool; we can only help you do it.As a result, questions that are some variation of

+ see what's wrong with your pool; we can only read your descriptions."My pool's messed up; what can I do?"lead to an answer that is some version of"Dunno; tell us more!"At a minimum, we need to know+ current pH, chlorine, and stabilizer levelsAnd for equipment questions
+ info about HOW you tested (which kit; how often)
+ your pool size (gallons) and type (vinyl, concrete, above-ground, in-ground)
+ your filter type (sand, cartridge, DE)
+ what chemicals you've used recently,

You can get reliable and useful starter test kit, the a HTH 6-Way Test Kit (~$23) (made by Taylor) from Amazon or Walmart. [ Do NOT use the stabilizer / CYA test until AFTER you've added stabilizer. There are only 3x tests for CYA in that kit.]
