Welcome to our forum.
There seem to be 3 choices - use the test strips that you get at any spa store or big box, use the Taylor kit or use Aqua Check.From reading a number of posts it seems the Taylor is the standard around these parts.As a newbie to water chemistry where is the best place to start?Thanks in advance.
I use liesure time test strips and have no problem. I think test strips are more commonly used than the reagent kits (like Taylor), but you hear more about the test kits because maybe, the folks using them are Water chem geeks and enjoy talking about the finer details of water chemistery? or maybe they are using the kits because thier water is a bit more troublesome and require the kits, and need help? The kits give you more data to consider, and the interaction of these samples can be a bit overwhemming?
All the levels of orange and green look alike to me.
