Received my TF-100 today and ran my first set of tests! A couple of questions:
CH test instructions state 'Red indicates the presence of Calcium'. My water was a definite purple, no resemblance of red at all but it did still turn blue with R-0012. Is the purple color normal?
When the instructions say to 'mix' does that mean to actually mix (like with the flat end on the blue spoon) or just swirl? Some steps say mix others say swirl so I assumed there was a difference. This may not even matter but just checking because I definitely do not want to be wasting any of the testing chemicals.
My test results are below. If something appears way off could someone please let me know? I feel confident that they are accurate for the most part but I may have missed something. About to plug them into 'Pool Math' now because I clearly need to add some things!
pH: 7.5
FC: 1.5
CC: .5
TC: 2
CYA: 0
TA: 60
CH: 125
Br: 4? Not positive about this one because the colors are very hard to distinguish IMO. They kind of all looked the same.
Thanks in advance to anyone that may have some input on this!
