I have been using the TFP powder for testing my Cl this season and found the following:
A. My SWG is now having to operate at 40 to 60% whereas last season it operated at 20%. Yes, the temperatures are similar to last year and the salt concentration is also the same and the salt cell is clean.
B. Purchased some Taylor R-0870 this past weekend with an expiry date of 10/2020 and tested the water and the Cl level showed 16.5 whereas the TFP powder test showed 8.5. Ran the test again and the results were the same. I follow the Taylor procedure for testing the water.
C. I noticed that the TFP powder is much coarser than the Taylor. All pool testing reagents are stored indoors. I have been testing my pool water for 20 years and have a sparkling water in the pool. I test my pool water 5 to 7 times a week.
