hey again. I have a question about my R-0870 DPD powder. It looks a little off white almost lightish gray. Is this still ok for testing??

This happens as moisture makes its way into the bottle.
So long as it still turns pink you’re good
If you have one of those little desiccant packs you can throw one in your kit with the container. Some people put both in a plastic bag or small container.
To prevent as much moisture as possible make sure your hands & the scooper are dry when using it & keep it tightly closed as much as possible.

So you didn't buy Nate's. 
(He's been including a little desiccant pack inside to absorb moisture, because his customer service is off the charts.
)
I had mine in a zip lock with more desiccant packs and I moved it to a small container (1/3 cup ?) that I found at Ikea. Between the inside desiccant pack and the extras in the container, the powder is still like sugar.

If its the taylor pop top bottle the inside foamy lining is supposed to absorb moisture.
What's with that stray leaf in there? Slacking a little bit lol.
No this is his bottle. I took the dessicant out for the pictureSo you didn't buy Nate's.

Sept 2. Forecast is for 90 degrees sunday and monday. Keeping pool open a bit longer. Family coming over. Grandson and all. BBQ time again. Chemicals still stable. I just have a question. A friend told me that his pool guy said to leave filter on during the day and turn off at night because having the filter run during daytime mixes the chlorine while filter is on and lowers the amount that is broken down by the sun?? Any ideas about that recommendation?? Thank u all and enjoy the weekend

Anytime anyone off forum tells you something pool related, smile and be polite, and let it go straight out the other ear. 
The chlorine (and all the chemicals) need about 15 mins to mix. Twice a day is plenty. Their reasoning is about as silly as thinking you'll get less sunburn by moving around quickly. (While still outside all day without sunblock on).
Enjoy your party !!!

Thank u for the smack around I will continue as alway putting my liquor bleach in after dusk when my filter goes on
I'm OK with the 'one for you, one for me' approach. *hiccup*
I am so very happy i met u people. I just had to take another pic of the pool to show u what u have taught and enabled me to do.
I mean. I'll admit..... a bunch of internet strangers telling you that you needed to wake up at 5 AM to test the chlorine level, probably seemed a wee bit weird. 
But we're super glad you gave us a chance anyway.

Looks great Monte!
And yeah, I thought we scared you off for good somewhere around page 3-5.
