When I do my water testing I can never get the color to turn Blue. I have went as high as 30 drops of reagent and still doesn't turn from the pinkish with purple particles. I have even tried the directions recommendations by adding a certain # of drops first, then proceeding with the test. I have emailed Taylor questioning about it several times, but no response. Any suggestions?

Using distilled water, dilute your pool water 1:1. Then do the test with that mixture. Follow all the other instructions. Double your results.

In extreme cases, a fading endpoint may occur even when adding five drops of R-0012 at the start. If that happens, mix pool water with an equal quantity of distilled water, test that, and then multiply the result by two.
