Right now I've got a cheap Home Depot 5-way. I've got the Taylor K2006 sitting right next to it, but haven't used it yet (or know what it's for). Is there any reason to not swim if the chlorine is too high?

These video demos might help you learn to use the kit.

If you are getting a reading of 5 on your test kit, then it could be 5 or any number over 5 since that is the highest number on the scale. Check this link. It shows colors of higher readings than your OTO kit can read. http://pool9.net/oto-chart/
Based on that chart, what would you say that your chlorine reading is?

Actually, I hadn't checked my chlorine in two days and when I checked it today it was 3.0. I think this means I can end "vacation mode" and resume nightly doses of dichlor and follow the Super Simple recipe and BBB method!
