I love the TF100!
Quick question - the OTO test shows 0 chlorine, so I decided to test for CC using the FAS-DPD test.
Upon initially putting in the powder, the solution did not turn red as the test indicates. I proceeded and added the 5 drops of R-0003, and the water turned slightly pinkish after a few seconds. Then one drop of R-871 (if I recall the number correct, typing this from memory) turned it back to clear.
Is this the correct way to test for CC when the FC reading is 0?
If so, here are my numbers:
FC: 0
CC: 0.5
TC: 0.5
pH: 7.2
T/A: 70
CH: 240
CYA: Waiting for sample to warm to room temp, won't have a reading until later on today.
Temp: COLD (did not measure)
What i thought was algae coating the floor of my pool, according to these numbers, seems to be just dirt. I will vacuum it to waste.
How can I check that my SWG is actually generating chlorine? I have bleach because I expected to need to shock - should I bring it up to shock level? I was thinking I should run the overnight FC loss test.
