    I'm sure I did...took a sample in the evening after sun was down, fc-34, and next morning before direct sun hit pool, still over horizon.....fc-33.5 The only thing different was I started using the 10ml sample after a few days instead of 25ml sample when I started.

    Steps and magnetic light were removed. pool math had slam target of fc 35, was at this level or a bit under, never read less than 32, and that was also taking into account a few extra drops from the r0871 that i couldn't get to go full clear in first few days

    Quick update...I ordered new fas dpd kit, tested and the samples now go to original clear starting color. Tried using the older kit and had same result, staying light pink. The lot of regents i was using expires 10/23, should still be good, but probably going bad a few months early...?
