I've seen people posting the certain numbers FC, PH....Does your kit show exact numbers or you estimate? I have Poolmaster 22260 Basic 5-Way Test Kit. On chlorine tube, numbers are 5, 3, 2, 1, 0.6. Does your kit says 4.6, 0.8 or 2.5.......you estimated?

The only really estimated numbers are pH and CYA. All others (FC, CC, TA, CH) you count drops until a color changes, so they are in even increments, usually 0.5ppm for FC and CC, and 10ppm or 25ppm for TA and CH.
The pH still requires matching colors ... and the CYA you have to determine when a dot disappears.
You are using a DPD or OTO chlorine test ... we recommend the FAS-DPD chlorine test due to its accuracy.

I am pretty new with the pool stuff. This is the kit I got. To test Chlorine, I drop 5 drops in tube first and look for the color to match which numbers, not dropping one by one to see color change.

That is the OTO test ... not very good at getting exact FC or CC numbers.

We get the FC level accurate to either .5 or .2 depending on the sample size, using the FAS-DPD test..
