I did a test of the water myself... With the drop test kit and with a test strip... PH was below 7.0. Can the leslies numbers really be that far off? Also, is there anyway to rapidly decrease the FC? My test say the FC is > 10. My daughter's bday party is Sat. We the FC level decrease enough by then?
