Can you review this before I take the plunge?

It is a DPD test kit. Good or bad?

My TA was super high a few days ago. I lowered it using Acid and then bought a fountain aerator to bring the ph up. It worked beautifully.

When I was in Leslie's buying the test kit I heard the clerks muddling up another pool so when I had the chance, I scribbled www.poolforum.com on the back of my gum package and gave it to them. They were frustrated and getting pi**ed off at the clerk because he didn''t know what he was talking about.
They'll probably kick me out the next time I go back.

My first CYA reading was near 300 at the beginning of the summer.

pucks pucks and more pucks then treating it with bagged shock.

Thank goodness for this forum!

What DPD is, is limited. Your range may only be to 5ppm for chlorine.

I THINK the "CarlD Shotglass Method" will work with DPD. You dilute the pool water with steam distilled water (avail at chain drug stores). 1 shot pool, 1 shot distilled doubles the range your read. 1 shot pool, 2 shots distilled triples it, but your accuracy gets harder and harder to maintain. DPD should also allow you to differentiate FC and CC.
