Thanks Sabres07! I was reading some of the information posted at this forum and it is really informative and 'eye-opening'. And like you said, I will follow what will be suggested, I can see that a lot of people benefit with this forum. And yes, planning to get the Taylor 2006C, too bad can not buy in a local store, so will wait for amazon to ship. I just wanted to start on it faster, so got the HTH kit for now.

Watermom,

I got the HTH test kit and here are the results. I posted the Pool chart Entry form as well.
