After receiving the kit, I was eager to test it out and see how it performed. I have to say, I was not disappointed. The process of testing my pool's water was straightforward, and the results were easy to read and interpret. The kit contains everything I need to test for chlorine, pH, alkalinity, calcium hardness, and cyanuric acid.
One thing I particularly like about this kit is the detailed instructions and recommendations that come with it. Pool School articles are a great resource, but having specific guidelines for my own pool's needs is incredibly helpful. I appreciate the extra effort that has gone into creating these guidelines, and I feel much more confident in my ability to maintain my pool's chemistry now that I have them.
So, without further ado, let's take a look at my first results using the TF-100 Kit.
Chlorine: 4.5 ppm
pH: 7.4
Alkalinity: 100 ppm
Calcium hardness: 275 ppm
Cyanuric acid: 40 ppm
Overall, I am happy with these results. I know that my chlorine levels are within the recommended range, and my pH and alkalinity are close to where they should be. My calcium hardness is a little high, so I will need to keep an eye on that and adjust as needed. My cyanuric acid levels are also at the top end of the recommended range, so I may need to make some adjustments there as well.
In conclusion, I am thrilled with my purchase of the TF-100 Kit. It has given me a much clearer picture of my pool's water chemistry and allowed me to make more informed decisions about how to maintain it. I highly recommend this kit to anyone who is serious about maintaining their pool's water chemistry. Thank you again to everyone who helped me along the way - I could not have done it without your guidance!
