I have been using Lamotte testing system for over 3 years. I have an indoor pool which came with our house when we bought it 8 years ago. The previous owner was doing only chlorine and shock. I struggled for several years with trying to get the water in a balanced and safe state. Periodically I was getting algae blooms and fighting wrinkling of our vinyl liner. Finally I discovered that I required not only chlorine, shock and algaecide, but also alkalinity and chlorine hardness. That realization was not discovered until I purchased the Lamotte testing kit. It was a long process of discovery. The replacement kits are an easy way to keep the system working.
