Filling a small pool with iron well water

[newbiepool]

Thank you! I'm hoping we can get city water and have it delivered..it would be so much quicker! Our pool is 18x48 and about 6400 gallons. It's an Intex pool with the 1500 gallon filter pump and Intex filters (type A). Would you recommend the OTO kit with drops over the test strips?

Would you recommend the OTO kit with drops over the test strips?

Absolutely. "Guess strips", as we call them, can often tell you if there IS or IS not a level of something in the pool, but will not reliably tell you "how much". Drop-based testing is always more reliable, even if the tests the kit will run are limited. The 6-way hth would be even better....

Yes, and the Taylor K-2006 or 2006C would be even better! Ben has written in a few posts today that our main sellers on Amazon are currently out of stock, so you may want to wait a couple of days before checking. One of the sellers on Amazon that we really like is Amato Industries. So, check Amazon a little later in the week and see if they have restocked yet. (See the test kit link in Janet's signature above.)

Thanks Watermom. We had gotten the 6 hth kit so when we need another I will see if they are available on Amazon. We had to filter well water so hopefully our chlorine tablets are copperfree and the filtering helped!

If you have the HTH 6-Way kit, you can pick up a small add on kit (K-1515) which will give you the FAS-DPD kit a and you'll be good to go. It is on the test kit page in my signature.
