    Thank you for your advice. I have a gunite pool

    Sorry, its in my signature now.

    Unfortunately, tomorrow's monday, and I work from 9-9 m-f so until next weekend, I cant fiddle with the pool, other than testing with my current kit and keeping the chlorine up. I'll keep it running though and maybe the foam will disappear.

    Troy,
    You've gotten some really sound advice here. There are some stickied posts at the top of this topic group, and the pool chemistry problems group, and the chlorine group that can help.

    If you need the test kit RIGHT NOW, then Leslie's on-line site has a "Chlorine FAS-DPD Service Test Kit" that you can probably get drop-shipped overnight and have tomorrow. It's made by Taylor for them, and is basically the same as the Taylor 2006, re-labeled for Leslie's. In terms of the chemistry, these two are the equivalent of the PS-234 and will give you equally accurate readings. No, neither gives you as many refills of reagents, nor as clear a set of instructions, nor as well laid-out a kit--you have to hunt for stuff, nor a good log.

    But they are the ONLY kits I know that can give you the readings Ben's kit gives you. If you need it RIGHT NOW, that's the way to go. If you want the best and can wait a little longer, Ben's PS-234 is the way to go.

    Thats really exactly what I've done. I ordered that kit from leslies, and intend on replacing it with Ben's when Im done.

    I realized by reading some of the threads in the kit forum that since he is just a guy helping us out that he probably would not be able to get me a kit for at least a couple weeks.

    So, I ordered leslies, and when I have used about half of the reagents in that, I'm going to order Ben's.

    Great mind's think alike

    Thank you all for your help. I really appreciate it.
