Nope, same exact test, same amount of powder, same amount of R-003. Just multiply by .2 instead of .5.
test results! Advice needed!

Thank you so much for your quick replies!
Here are the tests we just did tonight FC - .2, CC - .2, TC - .4 These have actually been the results we've gotten for the last week or so (ever since we started using the testing kit).
So, I think we need to get our FC up to 3-4, correct? When I entered the info into the pool calculator, it tells me we need to put in 120 oz of bleach (our bleach is 7.8% chlorine). We have been putting that amount in every other day for the last week, but our chlorine numbers aren't going up at all. Is there something I'm missing?
Thanks!!!

Chlorine is a consumable item. You need to add some every day. Typically, 2 or 3 ppm per day. For a pool as big as yours, that works out to about 2.5 qts to a gallon of bleach every day.
What did you get for your CYA reading? All I see up above is the pool store test result, which I don't trust. If CYA is lower than you think, the sun could be destroying a lot of chlorine.
