The color strip is pretty and we certainly hope that the pool will water is the correct everything. I realize you're checking for things like chlorine and other chemicals.
I don’t have a pool, thank goodness, so I don’t need to worry about such things. The people behind us have one and seem to spend more time cleaning in than using it!
We’re thinking of getting one of those smallish above ground pools for next year, cool us off in heatwaves and something for the dogs to have a splash in 😀 Alison in Devon x
Bob above is right, when I see my friend cleaning the pool although she has a robot + all the other things, I prefer to go to friends (lol) I have a question, you always answer the comments, but I never get your answers is there a special thing to do, or simply coming back to see if you answered or not ?
I had never touched our pool, for 36 years, Bob did it all, he stopped walking and now all we have is a bright green duck pond full of algae... I am wondering what the color stick would look like it dipped in the pond. as soon as hurricane season ends, the plan is to get it back to swimming pool.
Looks like a multi person urine dipstick check. Didn't know pools had so many things to check. Linda in Kansas
ReplyDeleteIt's all chemistry!
DeleteOh yikes, can anyone every trust pool water? Ha.
ReplyDeleteWhen everything's the right colour, yes. 😄
DeleteWow! I'm not sure I would know how to interpret that. Good thing I don't have a pool, I guess - just a fish pond.
ReplyDeleteIt's quite straightforward really, once you know how! (or so I'm told!)
DeleteWhat jappened to shades of blue? Do different colours test for differwnt things? To treat or not to treat...
ReplyDeleteAlkalinity, pH, and chlorine - all different colours - are the three most important to note. (I leave it to others to do the testing . . . )
DeleteComplex business, owning a pool... I had no idea!
ReplyDeleteIt looks more complicated than it is, really, or so I'm led to believe.
DeleteThe kit should have instructions on how to read that.
ReplyDeleteThe instructions are clear - getting the water to produce the right colours is the trick.
DeleteSo? Is it a good finding or not?
ReplyDeleteIt's improving and will soon be perfect! 😉😎

ReplyDeleteI thought the colours were so pretty, but yes, you're right - pH, alkalinity, chlorine . . .

ReplyDeleteOurs is indoors, so not such a problem. It still has to be maintained, though.

It's been a long time since I've had to test water in the pool. I don't miss those days.
ReplyDeleteI love a pool but they are a lot of work!!
