Re: Testing out my test kit
Generally speaking, although it's pretty easy to chlorinate your well water, it's not preferable.
Why not just fill the pool from the well? Do you have a slow producer?

So, should I be testing my well water for alkalinity? I'm not planning on filling my pool with it, but will probably supplement with about 5000 gallons over the course of a few days. I need almost 24000 gallons, and (3) 6500 gallon trucks will give me 19,500 gallons. I plan on topping the rest off with my well water.
