Pool Water Chemical Testing

In this video I show how to use the "Taylor Complete Test Kit" to test Chlorine, PH, Total Alkalinity, Calcium Hardness and Cyanuric Acid.
I also show the Ideal Ranges of these chemicals.

[@bacon-chewtoy]

Reagent 1 :5drops mix Reagent 2: 5drops mix. Ideal levels are 2.0 to 3.0 Right side PH : 5 drops PH ideal levels are 7.4 to 7.6

Thank you so much! This was much easier than reading their instructions!

Great video. This video is for the Taylor Kit. If you have to adjust read the label on the chemical needed.

I own this kit and the ez touch pool photometer. I use the taylor for Chlorine, PH, Alkalinity. For the Ez photometer. I use that to test for phosphates, CYA, Calcium hardness,.

Great vid, thanks!

[@briandoll8787]

This helped so much thank you

[@danjiles]

+Bri Andoll I’m glad to have provided some help.

Why did you not trust the Taylor Kit when it's reading for CYA was 30-40? I have the same Test Kit. I almost always get a CYA reading of 60. But when I go to stores to Test, the Reading is about 113. I would think that the Taylor test was accurate. What are your thoughts? Thanks. Great Video! One other thing, you never mentioned what you thought Alkalinity & Calcium Hardness should be. I have a Gunite Pool. Thanks again.

How often do you do this test?

[@nicholaspantalias8076]

Weekly

[@solilianamorales544]

I have a kit with a powder yellow not a liquid first so I’m confused. Also the water turns pink first with the powder not with the orange/yellow liquid. ?????

[@brianjohnson8883]

You have a different test kit (better). Read the directions under the lid of the test kit box. Also, read the little booklet lots of information.

[@pearlofgreatprice2662]

For the first test of chlorine, you use the small comparator rather than the large as it states in the directions. You didn't know how much water was in there, so how could you do accurate math?

[@TheDudes007]

Thanks

[@papangpinkpig2620]

Where could i buy the kit? Price?

[@DoneDeeds]

You never tested Cyanuric acid what the hell are you talking about...

[@Lyfehurts66]

I need something I can just put in the water, link it to my phone and have it send me reports on the water chemistry smh..

[@keithwatson8228]

You're not explaining how to read the treat kit.

[@mylenealano7562]

Hi, any one can help me if how to lower the bromine of the pool?

[@Campbell042]

It will lower over time. Just don't add any more and in the next couple days it will lower

[@mattalexhoward]

Thanks!

[@jacobj.1969]

Taylor is not accurate imo. Maybe it's the dye they use who knows.

[@drdrew3]

The CYA was in the proper range and yet the Taylor kit couldn’t detect any?!? That’s worthless

[@danjiles]

Yea, that’s why we use electronic test kits now. They were not around when we shot this video. Thanks for watching.

[@davetaylor2449]

TA test and explanation made no sense what so ever

[@tonymoran9794]

Dave Van Meter He found the pool to have 60 PPM of alkalinity; that’s where he left off. Now you know you need to raise your alkalinity by approximately 40 PPM to get in your ideal range of 80-100 PPM. Taylor has a chart to tell you how to do that.

Thanks

[@danjiles]

+Nathan Shields hope it helps. Thanks for watching
