Today I purchased a K-2106 test kit, but the titrating reagent in the kit is R-0871, while I was expecting R-0872.
Please confirm the following things:
R-0871 is the titration agent for Chlorine.
As a test for Chlorine, I can multiply the results by 2.25 to get Bromine.
That means this table shows the bromine/drop for the sample sizes possible on the test kit tube (which has markings for 10, 25, and 44ml):
On my hot tub, which I had just done a fresh fill on a few weeks ago, one drop of reagent is sufficient to neutralize the pink colour even on a 44ml sample. This means I have less then 1/4ppm bromine in the tub. I have read that 2ppm should be considered the minimum.
Questions:
1. Are my conclusions correct?
2. Do I need to drain and refill the tub, or can I shock and continue usage?
Thanks!
