Greetings All!
I ran out of Taylor R-0871, ordered more and began using leftover Taylor R-0871 from the 2023 Season. I buy new each year and keep everything in the air-conditioned house. Out of curiosity this morning as I began using the new, I retested FC with the old with a difference of 4.5 . . . and the NEW Taylor R-0871 was producing the higher numbers. The tests were repeated a second time. I would believe the old would be less reactive and require more drops producing higher result numbers. This is very counterintuitive to me. I've become very good with drop procedures. My technique is consistent.
While I understand high school chemistry well, I don't know what these chemicals are and how they function. Still, this seems counterintuitive to me.
On another note, I recently found out my husband was dumping used testing chemicals after FC testing back into the pool for cleanup last year. I frowned at that. Sometimes his efficiency gets past common sense. That couldn't possibly be good.
How could these results be so very counterintuitive to me?
Thanks!
