Alright thanks. I just thought it was weird that everything seemed to read correctly prior to adding boric acid. I was wondering why it affected the strips but not the drop test.

So I had an issue with massive ph swings; posted elsewhere here. Anyway, I decided to give boric acid a try. So I balanced the water to about 50-60ppm TA, and ph 7.6 or so. I then added 16oz of boric acid (550gallon spa). Let it go for a few days. The ph has been rock solid ever since. Hasn't...
