Just got my new test kit Here are my numbers. 27K IG.

FC: 6.5
CC: .5
TC: 7.0
pH: 7.5
T/A: 220
CH: 220
CYA: 60
Temp: 80
Water Condition: Crystal Clear; after a long struggle with copper staining and cloudiness.

I'm concerned that my TA is too high.

Scott, on the TA test ...did you wipe the tip of the R-0009 dropper bottle in between each drop, with a damp cloth?

Welcome to TFP by the way.

No, I did not. Seemed a bit ridiculous but if that's what's needed, I'll try again. Using my HTH test, I get numbers well below that...like 150.

LOL yeah, it's static electricity, a known issue with that reagent/bottle and it causes irregular drop sizes to form and skew the results.

I don't see anything in your results that would cause the issue described in the original post...
