    Too much chlorine? 42 drops of reagent into 10 ml sample and its still dark pink.

    Thanks for your replies. I have the TAYLOR K-2006 kit. I have been using the same kit since beginning of season. Adding two scoops of DPD powder (r-0870) followed by counting drops of reagent (r-0003). And I have done many successful FC tests so far. So I doubt I'm doing anything wrong with...

    Too much chlorine? 42 drops of reagent into 10 ml sample and its still dark pink.

    Yes, it's tiny 1000 gal pool for the kids. It may take more than a week for it to come down. Should I drain half the water and add tap water, to speed things up?

    Too much chlorine? 42 drops of reagent into 10 ml sample and its still dark pink.

    I'm puzzled as to how i can not get the sample to turn clear, I quit after 42 drops, as I don't want to waste all my reagent. And pink color is not even getting any lighter. 42 drops in 10ml is 21 FC. I had chlorinating tablet floating in the pool for 3 days and this is what I came back to...

    Thank you for the feedback. TF100 is out of stock everywhere, so I ordeter the Taylor K-2006. It will arrive on Monday. Since its a new fill, in assuming I'll need conditioner first.

    Total newbie here. First week of owning a wading pool, summer wave 10' x 30". (1072 gal) Filled it up with tap (city) water on Monday. It's 3rd day today. Local pool supply store recommended and sold me Omega Super Shock (12.5% sodium chloride). However, I keep adding this stuff but can't get...
