“Home is Wherever I’m With You.”
That’s a quote I saw on my Motivate Me Monday’s linky party (check out the button below to link up!…or just to read other cute DIY projects and fun recipes to try).
The quote pretty much sums up the weekend for the Pool Refs family.
Moving homes is a wonderful experience shared by helpful friends and family. Going through all your old things, adding and taking away treasured items to newly named rooms, picking new decor that matches your personality; all of this goes into having a new place to call home. It’s an exciting new chapter in lives and brings new projects and added to do’s.
One of those To Do’s is what to do with your new pool.
Of course, you could just call Pool Refs if you’re a new homeowner and ask for our technician Robert to come out and give you a free 30 minute lesson on what to do with your pool equipment 😉

How to read your test strip (video coming soon!)
Using dry hand take the test strip out of the bottle.
Dip the test strip in your pool for approximately 3 seconds.
Take the strip out and you should see different colors on the strip.
Use the bottle (like the above picture) to read what level each chemical is at.
If any of the chemicals are too low or too high call your local pool guy to see what the next step should be for your pool! Most of it is trial and error to figure out why your pool chemistry is off!
