First let me say with all the advice I've received from these forums I've learned how to take care of my pool and my pool water is clean and clear. So thank you all for that.
Now my question. Every time I test my PH using my Taylor test kit, I get a weak first test and have to test a second time to get actual results. This has only been happening for a couple of weeks. The first test will show very low PH like 6.8 or 7.0... the next tests are accurate at 7.6. I've tested 2 or 3 times in a row to be sure. Something about that first test is weird. I test my FC and PH daily so the reagents don't sit too long. The first couple times I thought maybe I only did 4 drops, but I've since counted carefully to ensure it's 5 full drops. It's just baffling
