    Have you thought about purchasing a drop based kit so you can get some accurate readings on your FC? If you cannot get one at your local Wal-Mart, there are the Taylor kits sold on the Internet.

    I am limping along with an OTO kit that has a high range of 3ppm TC and no way to check FC. I am using the strips to check FC. It is the best I can do while waiting on the PS234 kit to arrive.

    I could not find anyone within a 60 mile radius that had any brand of DPD-FAS kit. I almost ordered a Taylor, but the extend range and quantity of reagents swayed me tward the PS234.

    Thanks.

    Well, I finally tamed the chlorine monster!

    You guys werent kidding when you said it could take an enormous amount of chlorine!

    It took a week, and:
    6 gal of 12%
    68 gal of 6%
    Yesterday was the first I actually got it to 15ppm and it has retained it through mid day today.

    The lady at Sav-A Lot thinks I am cleaning crime scenes.

    Looks can be deceiving, the water looked great the whole time.

    THANKS ALL
