Thanks

Just signed up after reading late last night and more today . This forum is really getting me up to speed .

Had a algae problem that was driving me a bit crazy . What with reading past posts I think I have handle on the problem atm . Need a better test kit , gonna order one asap , only have the 6 way kit from Walmart atm .

I read that you can test to higher lvl's for FC with a shot glass but it went over my head I guess . If anyone could explain that better I would sure appreciate it . Other than that I'm good for now .

EDIT:To get a better indication until Ben's kit arrives, get some distilled water.

Make a 50/50 mix of distilled water and pool water, put that in the test vial and run the test as instructed. Then if you get a color in the test range, multiply the result by 2.

If you still get an orange Over Max reading then change the dillution to 3 parts distilled to 1 part pool water. Multiply the result by 3.

Should have read just a bit more I guess , I understand it now , thanks again .

Thanks again for having this here for us newbies to learn from
