My pool has been doing great this year. We were away since Friday and I left my grandson to keep an eye on things. We got in late last night and this morning the pool looked great. I ran a sample and the ph and chlorine were right where they should be. Then I ran a sample on the alkalinity. I put in 2 drops of 007 as always and when I added 5 drops of 008 I thought the green color looked a little lighter than normal. I began adding drops of 009 and instead of doing what it should after about 6 or 7 drops the sample began turning aqua blue and around 15 drops began turning yellow/gold. I have the stirring device I got with my kit.
My sample supplies are from last summer but they are stored indoors in a cool place and all my samples have been fine until now. I have a second set of each bottle that I had not used yet and those gave the same results. I checked my cya before our trip and it was fine.
I have my wife ready to go the the pool store for a second opinion, I am totally baffled.
