    Good point.

    Sadly, they often maintain their pools once a week with a pool person and I'm not sure if the pool persons are trying to save money on chemicals or just not visiting enough.

    That is why the results are as described. The natural tendency in Hawaii is for the poolwater to rise rather quickly to a pH of 8.0 in most pools, keeping it at 7.4-7.5 is a major undertaking, I know I do it every day.

    Anyway I'm giving up on saving the world.

    But I did find it interesting that as I keep my pool sooooooo clean that my eyes were irritated slightly when swimming, could not understand why. It seems that my chlorine level is a tad too high using this index. So I learnt something new and am going to adjust accordingly.

    Aloha and thanks for your help.
