    Watch the videos, here:

    http://pool9.net/tk-guide/
    http://pool9.net/tk-interfere/

    Notice particularly the TA interference video. Then:

    1. Test the chlorine levels, using the 10 ml sample and the 0.5 ppm/drop test.
    2. Mix 1/4 cup of pool water with 1/2 cup of tap water. Test for CYA. Multiply the result x3
    3. Report those results, including FC (free chlorine) and CC (combined chlorine) Tell us what you water looks and smells like (if there's an odor).

    4. Make sure you have a gallon of distilled water from Walmart on hand. Mix 1/4 cup of pool water with 1/2 cup of DISTILLED water. Test the pH of this sample. The result is as tested; no multiplier.
    5. Test TA, adapting for high chlorine.
    6. Test CH
    7. Report those results. Tell us what you water looks and smells like (if there's an odor).
