Swimming Pool Maintenance

[LoterGarry]

General question of how do you guys keep up with the pool chemistry?
Are you doing your own tests of the water, bringing samples to local pool store, or is there a good device that would possibly connect to your phone to tell you how the levels are in the pool?

Get a cheap test kit. Keeping ph in bounds is key. Any jackass can do it. Just read.

I had the same issue last year with cloudy water even though my levels looked fine. Ended up being poor circulation and a clogged filter. I fixed it by running the pump longer and deep cleaning the filter.
