I tried seareching before posting but couldn't really find an answer, though I'm sure it's buried in here somewhere. I received my TF 100 test kit this evening. When I am doing the CH test, should I look for a specific color of blue or just for no more change in color like in the video on their website? I ask because my test seemed more purple than blue and didn't seem to change any more past 20 drops. I was going to try to post a picture but it was hard to get one clear enough to post. I didn't know if I should keep adding and possibly waste the product so I stopped at about 28 drops. The second question I have is if I should perform the FAS-DPD test everyday. The OTO test that is yellow is more difficult for me to interpret than the Taylor DPD test that was pink/purple. I had a very hard time telling if my chlorine level was 2, 3, or 5 with the OTO test. If I'm not even supposed to record the result what is the purpose of it? If you follow BBB shouldn't you already know that you have chorine in the water? My results from the first round of tests are below.
FC 3.5
CC 0.5
TC 4

Note - my TA per the Taylor test on 5/18 was 100 with essentially the same test
Thanks.
