I have just used my new Taylor 2006-salt test kit. The drop test for salt ppm produces goopy looking solids. Swirling doesn't seem to disolve them, vigorous shaking breaks it up into tiny pellets. Color change seems to work correctly, but if I stop swirling or shaking, the solids quickly settle to the bottom of the test tube. I realize that these solids are what create the milky look, but does the rapid change to opaque solid indicate something else about the water? Also notice a scum line in test tube after emptying the sample; rinsing does not remove the scum; I needed to wipe it out and then rinse again. Test is showing 3200 ppm salt. The ProLogic says 2800.
I have read the threads about doubling the water sample and will try that. I agree that the color change can go from yellow to the brick brown with the addition of l more drop.
So is this effect normal or am I doing something wrong? Thanks
