High pH

Will get to "Pinch-a-Penny" for some new chemicals or a test kit a little better than what I have. Have been using Muriatic acid with varying results.

Get a Taylor K-2005 -- if Pinch a Penny has it -- and then order a K-1515 from the test kit info page in my signature. OR, just order a K-2006 to begin with. If the K-2005 is NOT available locally, see if you can get a HTH 6-way test kit (not strips!) from Walmart. Some Walmarts have them.

There are NO other locally available "good" test kits, except the HTH 6-way or the K-2005, and both of them have to supplemented.

I have never seen a K-2006 in Pinch a Penny (and was told they do not carry them) and lately I have not seen K-2005 in the one local to me, only the smaller and less expensive Taylor kits. Also, I have never seen the HTH test kit in a Florida Walmart (and I have checked in various areas of the state when I have gone camping--yes I DO have another passion besides pools and computers!, only AquaChem test strips.) Ordering the K-2006 online might be the best choice!
