Nope. Avoid pool store testing.Is this where you take a sample to a pool store?
The chemicals were purchased on March 23, 2023. I cannot find any details about the OTO chlorine test (R-104).Going down a rabbit hole introducing straight bleach into a testing procedure.
In the presence of VERY HIGH chlorine (straight bleach) FAS/DPD will flash pink and then return to clear immediately.
OP, please perform the OTO chlorine test (R-104) and report the color you see.
How old is the kit?
The color of the new powder is white. No grey tint at all, which I thought unusual.
Fantastic! At least that's one mystery behind us. Seems odd that your pool water wasn't registering anything before all of this or after some additional bleach additions. Since you were adding a weak % bleach, I'm not so sure it would be exceptionally high. I suppose one test you could do is to grab a water sample from the pool, then bring it inside and dilute it in half with tap or distilled water.Tested my tap water and recorded 2ppm.
This depends on the initial concentration of the bleach.1 drop of chlorine into 450 ml of water is 10.0 FC
6% bleach? 10%? 12.5%?For future reference of testing the testing kit to make sure it works.
