First time ever testing pool water.
Chlorine test = Added 4 drops of R-0871 x 0.5 = 2
added 5 drops of R-0003, solution turned pink.
Added 2 more drops of R-0871 x 0.5 = 1 Solution turned clear.
Went on to another test and left the solution alone. About 5 minutes later I See the solution is pink again. I place it back on the speed stir and add 2 more drops to get it clear again.
I let it sit for another 5 minutes, it did the same thing. 2 more drops were added to get it to turn clear again. I did this 3 times total. Is this normal ? Will letting the solution sit idle cause it to turn pink again?
To my understanding I think my TC is 3, but if I count the 3 times I let the solution sit idle for 5+ minutes each time and add the extra R-0871 drops then I can be as high as 6+ as I stopped after the 3rd time it turned back pink on me.
TA = 60 I think I'm good here as SWG pools should be 60-90
CYA - I did this test twice. Both times I managed to fill the tube all the way to the top and was still able to see the black circle at the bottom. I guess I'll be taking a trip up to the pool store tomorrow to get some stabilizer. I am assuming based on the directions, that when I mix the R-0013 with pool water that my sample will become cloudy, and that cloudiness is what prevents me from seeing the black circle at the bottom of the tube?
Salt = 3100 I will probably add just a little more tomorrow and get it to 3200-3300
