Hi everyone,
I ran my first complete test today with the TF100. Everything looked good for a pool still shut down. But I was unable to get a TA result. I didnt get a green color when I added 5 drops of R-0008. It was more of a blue. I decided the blue was the color I was looking for, and titrated the R-0009, but after 25 drops, decided to stop. Was my TA really above 250?!
I came inside and ran the test on some tap water and got a result of 60. So what I am thinking is that my TA is actually very very low, and not registering. The blue color I saw was the blue color of the R-0008 solution.
Another question. When I am doing this, am I wanting the solution to change completely clear from green and stay clear? When I tested the tap water, after 6 drops it flashed clear when the drop hit the water, but went back green. Even after 10 drops, it was still flashing clear and going back green. So do I want it to hold clear, or count drops until it flashes clear?
Thanks!
