Yes, the black dot should completely and totally disappear, as if it was never there, even after you stare at it for several seconds. The test is designed to be done in bright light, ideally direct sunlight with the view tube shaded by your body.
Thanks. Also when I add the DPD powder it takes quite awhile to dissolve, if it's not completely dissolved will that influence the results of the chlorine test?
