Seems like it should be obvious to me but being new to using a test kit it got me wondering something on testing Chlorine. Have always used strips in the past.
I have the TF-Pro test kit which has the daily CL and PH test along with the Chlorine Drop Test.
The PoolMath app only has logging for FC and CC which is TC right? What is the point of testing CL? I know that sounds to me like a dumb question but I can't come up with the answer in my little pea brain ;). Is it just to make sure you have chlorine as a spot check? Or am I misinterpeting something?

Thanks
 
The smaller tester is Total Chlorine, which is Free Chlorine + Combined Chlorine.

It’s easier to use and handy for ballparking your FC level, but not really precise especially at the higher levels. Just look at my avatar. The orange color tells me I have enough chlorine, but I have no idea if my FC is 8,10, or 27.

Thanks! I "thought" this was the case.
