I do my own testing. Much more accurate than the T&D strips. Pinch a Penny uses the same testing as my home taylor kit but I noticed that sometimes the tech is impatient and adds chemical before waiting for color change and the readings for TA and CH are higher than actual. I spend $15 per month on chlorine and acid and baking soda. Clean the filter about 1 per month. My water is clear as can be and the only reason I go to T&D and Pinch a penny is my builder requires a monthly chem analysis form a "professional" to insure my pool finish warranty.
