Just received TF-100 kit and ran through the tests. Everything was as expected except Calcium Hardness. The instructions state 10ml of pool water...10 drops of r-0010 and 3 of R-0011L...followed by R-0012 in drops x 25 to get final reading. By this method 35 drops of R-0012 were required which would indicate Calcium Hardness of 875! I re-ran the test with the same result.
A Hach AquaChek 7 test strip indicated a more normal 250 (approx) and a quick trip to PP tested 350.
We've had this pool for nearly 20 years and CH has never been 875.
Any idea what could cause this test to be so far out of "norm"?
I note several other posts of strange CH readings with TF-100.
Thanks
Randy
