walker,

if the county finds a reading of 1.0, they will tell you to raise it if not 
close the pool. this pool is very busy and it will not take anytime for that 
1.0-1.5 to drop down to zero. usage and heat from the sun eats up chlorine 
in a heartbeat. it is always a good practice to keep it at 4.0-5.0 which is 
at the top of the scale to allow room to come down. i did not get any 
reading when a homeowner brought me a water sample tonight.

me and my kids wont be in the pool at a level of 1.0-1.5 i can only hope 
people out there start listening.


concerned,

Vicki Smith
