    Thanks but I figured it out. After the last vacuuming I neglected to purge the excess air from the system. After I purged its situation normal (you can fill in the rest!). It seems every time I post a problem I can’t solve to TFP I solve it after I post the question. It must be magic.

    Uncertain Free Chlorine Endpoint
