Using the Correct Reagent Confirms that the FAS-DPD test at 11.5 is correct. Thanks for all your help!

I'm reading the Extended Test Kit Directions and it Says for the OTO Chlorine Test TC - Total Chlorine Use R-0600 and i think i was using R-0003 Accidently... Time for a retest! They both had yellow tops and i think i got the switched around

The water was a pink as the first time like cherry Koolaid. Yesterday i Got 0 on my FAS and 0 on the OTO... Chlorinated with a couple bags of shock and bleach since yesterday and now the OTO says .5-1 and the FAS says 11.5. on the 19th my CL was around 5-10 and when i did FAS it read 7ppm. SO...

Im following the directions inside the lid on the FC/CC test. Could my Test Kit be bad its about 2 years old, but its only been stored inside. The color matching that i was doing is lightly yellow matching the .5 - 1 colors on one side and the PH is 7.8

Im sorry, im using the Taylor TF-100 Using the R-870 Powder. I drop R-871 in there 23 times to turn it from pink to clear... then I use R-003 then R-871 to find the CC. My question is why does the Quick tester that comes in the Blue kit (K-1000) with Chlorine on one side and PH on the other...

I have used the Quick tester of the k-1000 and i get between .5 and 1 on the test but when i use the FC test in my main kit with the Powder, I get 11.5 on my FC and .5 on my CC. Why do i get the conflicting test measurements? And why are the so vastly different? Which one can i trust. The...

ahh ok! if i have a 2.5 gallon jug how much you think i should add each day?

So i tested again today and my CYA is 49 but my FC is 0 TA is 150 PH is between 7.6 and 7.8 Is that fast? I hadn't put anything in since Sunday should it lose that much FC in 3 days?

thanks for your answer!

thanks Jason.. i was wondering if anyone could explain the difference between the two tests?

Hey guys just wanted to post my results from the TF 100: FC 7 CC .5 TC 7.5 PH 7.8 TA 190 CYA 50 The only thing i noticed is on the small Chlorine and Ph tester it says 1-2 which doesn't coincide with the other results. Anyways how does everything look?

Yeah i only trust this one store after all these years. He told her she was fine unless she wanted to lower the Alkalinty.. add Muratic acid, but he said you didnt need to. I guess i should teach her how to us the TF-100 in the house next time

Its been a while since i posted on here, and i went through some fights with my pool where I was to lazy to maintain it. Not anymore. Its been under control (fairly blue) since June 27th, and today its still clear blue. I am out of town, so my wife had the Local Pool Store run a water sample...

Its so funny i switched to the BB method last year and right after i got it Perfectly blue and swimmable my Filer blew,...fast forward and i finnally got this sucker blue again and booom !

Oh ok great! thanks for the help... You think its that easy I can do it myself?
