    Thanks again
    look again...10 bucks to test the water...yikes.

    You are in good hands with pool doc and company now. Don't go back to the pool store...

    Honestly, $10 is a reasonable charge for a pool store performing a K2006 level test on a pool. Of course, that wouldn't be so reasonable for a test strip based test.

    It doesn't take alot of $10 to pay for a K-2006!
