Old Test Kit

[Watermom]

If your kit is 12 years old, then it is time to replace it. Is the pressure rising on your filter? Have you backwashed any and if so, what color is the discharge water?

The kit is 6 years old, not 12, so is it still ok? The pressure is not rising on the filter. I have not backwashed since a few days ago when you told me it's best not to do it daily, unless the pressure is rising.

In the last couple of hours, I can begin to see some changes - the water is beginning to look more blue than green, still cloudy, but the bottom of the pool next to the steps in the shallow end is now visible. So it seems there is finally starting to be some improvement.

Why did I write 12? (Don't tell anybody that I'm a math teacher, ok? ) I thought 6 when I wrote it and have no idea why I typed a 12!

At any rate, a 6 year old kit also needs to be replaced.

Math teacher? I won't tell! That's funny! How many times something comes out of my mouth when I meant to say something else - the brain going too fast for the mouth, I guess. Seems we can do the same thing typing our thoughts. Anyway, so I need to get a new kit. I've been suspecting that. Thanks.

And, of course, the kit you want to get is the Taylor K-2006 or 2006C. Can't buy it locally, though. Only online. Click the test kit page link in my signature above.
