Hi! I am partially disabled (it is very difficult for me to bend) and I use a few helper tools to make pool maintenance easier. I have “Skimmer Angels” to make the skimmer baskets easier to remove so they can be dumped, as well as a “Lidz Off” to help me uncover the skimmer lids without having to bend. They are saviors!
Today I am looking for advice on how to more easily take water samples of my inground pool, as I find myself avoiding the very important task of checking Chlorine level every morning, because of the pain.
I keep my Taylor fas/dpd test kit in a waterproof Rubbermaid bin close by the pool, so I don’t have to go far to get it. Then I fill a clear kitchen squeeze bottle with pool water, so it’s easy to squirt the water into the test kit reservoir. In order to do this though, I have to get in my hands and knees to fill the squeeze bottle
. I’ve tried to use one of those grabber things to help, but half the time it squeezes the water out or the bottle slips away.
Anyone else in a similar situation?
Thanks!
