I had a test kit from before and was using it but it was old so I bought a new one yesterday, it says Leslies, the pool store name, but inside is says it is a Taylor, it is just for chlorine and ph though. Maybe I should try a different store to test for the other levels or maybe I should buy a more involved test kit. I am unemployed right now so every dollar saved is in my best interest.

Should I add baking soda or just keep with the Borax for now? I will try to return the Alkalinity Up but I just returned the PH increaser and he said he would do it just the one time because of OSHA regs. I will tell him they have not been giving me good advice from the start and I wish to take my business elsewhere.

The TA test is the little electric meter that has a small cup on it?

Thanks.
