    Adding another drop -- if you can't read the kit otherwise -- is better than nothing, but not good. The pH colors in the K2006 are more intense than in the K1000 or HTH 6-way. Some cheap OTO kits have very indistinct (diluted) color matches. But, if you are actually color blind, you may need a pH meter. Check here: http://www.poolforum.com/pf2/showthread.php?15322

    All,

    the pool finally opened this weekend. I tested the water and it was perfect. The family loved it and I just want to give a BIG thanks to the forum.

    Regarding the corrosiveness of chlorine on the pool room - all my wiring is insulated and and in tubes and the utility room is tucked in the corner. I keep the humidity @ 55% and the fan is running at all times. Today the water actually got warmer than the room which will raise humidity but once we swam I pulled the cover over and the hunidity went right back down. As for the chlorine smell - nothing. The room just smells FRESH. FC @ 2.3 ppm, PH @ 7.5 and I'm working on getting the calcium up.

    Thanks again all.

    C. Chase
