some of the tests are as follows...

Answer 2

Test kits for chlorine are available at all pool stores and some retail stores such as Wal Mart. There are other tests besides chlorine that should be done to keep your pool in good swimming condition. A specialty pool store is more likely to have knowledgable employees to help answer your questions about your pool.
