Received the test kit Thursday and have been playing since.
Confused on a couple of things.
1) TA test: My chlorine is high. The test instructions include a note that says "In the presence of high Chlorine, initial color may be blue and shift to yellow. The test is still valid". What does this mean? It will not turn red? The change to blue is the amount of drops to record. Record the number of drops when it changes to yellow? Keep going until it eventually turns blue, yellow, and then red?
2) CYA test: See a couple of other threads on this one. So far, my kit doesn't have a standard like others have noted. It also doesn't include having sunlight as a requirement to read. Seems a little like an educated guess. Does anyone have any pictures of what "no longer seeing the black dot in the bottom of the tube" should look like?
Anyone have some helpful insight?
