It does in this picture.The purple tinge was messing with me too. I’ve been experimenting with less drops in the Taylor kit and TF Pro. Checkout 3 drops (instead of 5) of R-0014 in the TF Pro kit. Looks exactly matched to 8.2 to me. Thoughts?

TA is 60. I’ll adjust pH down .4 and report back.That looks like 8.1 or 8.2
What is your current TA?
Add enough acid to lower your pH by 0.4 and retest in 30 minutes with pump running.
Let us know what the new pH result is.
I understand the approach you describe but I’m limited in my ability to see colors correctly. The problem is mostly with red/green. I seem to be able to tell lighter/darker shades very well and if one color looks exactly like another. Where I struggle is with the transitions from one color to the next.It does in this picture.
The deal is you don’t want to attempt to interpret/assume things that aren’t accurately readable with the device you’re using.
Like a ph higher than 8.0 using that other comparator.
Which ever comparator you use if the ph looks higher than the highest readable value you would still just assume the highest readable value, add enough acid to get to mid 7’s per poolmath & repeat the exercise if you didn’t reach your target because your ph was actually higher. You can always add a little more acid if you need to.
Is there a pH meter that is recommended here above others?The color blind may benefit from a good ph meter for times when their work can’t be checked by a significant other/cohabitator. So long as it is maintained/calibrated
Most here prefer the apera ph60 - i have never used one so no real experience with it.Is there a pH meter that is recommended here above others?
A consistent background is key. I prefer a backlit background. To get a consistent backlight, hold the block in front of your computer monitor with a blank white screen displayed (I use Google's homepage). Also, try holding the block sideways or upside down. Sometimes that helps distinguish colors better. I also use two old hotel keycards to mask off areas and narrow down my decision.Thoughts?
So the fist pH adjustment was 15 oz to go down 0.4. When I went back out for the second adjustment I only had 8 oz of Ma left. I added that and 30 mins later it looked just under 7.8 to me. It is easier for me to see the colors in the high 7 range.What is the new reading for pH?
