    I think cost isn't the only resistance out there with the k-2006. For many, there's a bit of intimidating learning curve to overcome. What appeals to the secret mad scientists in some, doesn't for others.

    I'm STILL an Intex owner. This is the third season. First year, we got the pool late in the season and still had to drain and refill more than once. Second year, water restrictions were imposed so no more drain and refill. We spent literally Hundreds of dollars on chemicals and countless hours FIGHTING with the pool ALL summer long. This year, we upgraded to a sand filter for about $150, found PoolSolutions.com, and started really CARING for our pool, instead of WORRYING about it. The K2006 has made it possible for us to get, and keep the pool sparkling all summer, and we started with a pool so green you couldn't see 12 inches into it. The cost of the kit has been recouped SEVERAL times in saved chemical expenses. The hours it has saved us are countless. I've spent less TIME on the pool so far this year than was spent the first month last summer. The advice here has been invaluable, and I'm extremely thankful for all the help, but I don't think I'd have been able to follow the advice I got without the proper tool - the Taylor K2006 Test Kit.

    Once again, I'd like to offer a heartfelt "Thank You" to PoolDoc, WaterMom, and all the others who have helped us enjoy our pool this year.

    Testing is like your pool GPS. It works because it first figures out where you are and then tells how far it is to get where you wanna be. The challenge is getting folks to see the value in that. Anyone can buy a map. Few people can figure where they are on it. Less people can create their own route. Still fewer will want to so on their own.

    When someone asks for help, they are not just asking for what they need, they're asking for why they need it. All of our replies should start with this mind.

    Steps off soapbox...
