I recently broke out a new vial of this reagent. Now I'm suspecting that it is possibly bad because my CC numbers have been uncharacteristically low (more or less zero when usually I run about 0.5-1 due to so many leaves that fall into my pool).
Is it possible that this reagent is bad, or am I just running my pool just right for once?
Thanks!

What color is it? Quote: R-0003 is DPD Reagent #3. It should be a clear colorless liquid. If it turns yellow, it has gone bad.

Also a Rubadub hot tub and a UDS (Ugly Drum Smoker) poolside.
If your water has you worried, do an Overnight Chlorine Loss Test (OCLT), and if you fail, then follow the Shocking Process until:
1. CC is less than 0.5 ppm, 2. An OCLT shows a loss of 1.0 ppm or less and, 3. The water is crystal clear.

It is clear as water, colorless.
