I would add the two but i really need to have an accurate reading. To aerate you just need to create bubbles. If you have any water features such as...

First of all, as you can tell from the varying readings from your pool stores, you cannot trust their pool water testing. You need to get your own...

New pool user, had the same problem for a couple of days, noticed pool pump was not full of water. Adjusted the seal on the pot lid. No more foam!
