No unfortunately I don't have a yellow test. I'm not gonna use it to disinfect the pool but for household cleaning and safe water storage. I did another test adding 10 drops to a gallon of water which is called for proper storage and still zero chlorine result on the test. Very strange!

So I bought a couple lbs of pure calcium hypochlorite to experiment with making my own chlorine/bleach. I followed directions to make a small batch of 6% chlorine and it seemed to work fine as the liquid smells strongly of chlorine with a yellow tint. I put a tsp of the the solution in a cup...

Thanks! I'm going to start by looking into getting drains for both sides for the strip drain and the gutter and see if it stops the mud intrusion. The french drains under the deck sounds like a big expensive project so I would only do that if absolutely necessary.
