Have had our tub about 2 months now. (No prior experience).
Have been using Aqua Check strips to test and balance chems.
The strips check 3 levels: Free Chlorine, PH, and Alk.
Have been able to quite readly maintain the chem. levels in the proper range according to the test strips, but do have some questions:
1. How accurate are the strips in showing the levels as compared to other testing methods, i.e. the Taylor test kit?
2. Will need to replenish my strips soon, should I get the ones that test for more than the 3 levels, or just replenish what I have been using?
Our tub has an Ozonator w/ 24-7 circ. pump.
Our water so far has been great, very clear, etc., with no apparent problems.
Have been using Dichlor, MPS, and occasional Sea Kleer.
Our water source is very clear well water, but it may be a little on the "soft" side (Have not checked the hardness so far).
If I should be testing for more than 3 levels, what would those be, and will the Aqua test strips do the job?
