Using the Taylor test kit. When I add the drops to turn sample from pink to clear on the chlorine test. I count the drops then multiply. Sometimes over the course of a few minutes my sample will turn back to a lite pink color. Does that matter

the fc test will always turn pink again over time, that is why the cc test must be done immediately
My life saver has been the Pool Math app. It's been much easier for me to use compared to the one on my computer. You just plug in your results and the app will tell you exactly how much and what to add. It's amazing to me that all you need is some 10% bleach!
Going to do the oclt test tonight. Got the pile of dead ants out of bottom of pool. Them things are awful this year. Back washed pool. Tested chemicals.

Didn't add any bleach since level was above 3. That way when I test before I go to bed I will know that's the true chlorine #'s. Then test when I get up in the morning, then add my bleach. This sound ok.

Sounds good. Run the pump all night or be sure it has been on for at least 30 minutes prior to taking your sample for the AM test.
Take care.

As of now my pump runs 24/7. Going to do something in the future (timer) but that's a post for another day. Just downloaded the pool app so I believe that will be a big help. What's your opinion on algaecide. I would like to add some for preventive measures.

Only in certain situations when closing a pool for winter do we recommend algaecide.
