The FAS-DPD test is good at FC levels up to at least 50. Stopping at 23 drops just means that your FC level is 12 or higher, which makes sense. You need to keep adding drops until it turns clear.

The only way to test for CC is to complete the FC test first.

jason thanks here it is finally figure it out had to keep going cya 50 / alak 120 / fc 25.5 cc 1 or 0.5 / it was barley pink not really maybe its nothing / ph 7. 5 to 7.8 alittle high due to fc right ? i will recheck a day or two , pool is 10.000 gallons vinyal liner pump 2 horse aboveground 29 by 30 4 feet oval filter is medialite water not as clear ie... sparkel should i run pump longer cycles add more bleach or wait for a drop ?

Wait for the FC level to come down to 10 or lower and then test the PH again. High FC levels can lead to incorrect PH readings.
