Hi Watermom,

I just checked both buckets after the first 24 hour period. Listed below are is the info for each sample:

Pool Water:
clarity = clear
color = very light green tint
sediment = noticed 4-5 very small black specs, size of sand grain (not sure if these are new)

Hose/Source Water:
clarity = clear
color = very light green tint
sediment = noticed 4-5 very small black specs, size of sand grain (not sure if these are new) as well as one larger black clump, maybe size of pencil eraser. I do not remember seeing this before...

I will report back again tomorrow night. Do you want Chlorine levels tonight? Please note that I just received my Taylor test kit in the mail today, so I now have a more accurate test kit.
