JasonLion said:Your FC level is above 5 after an hour, so it would be very reasonable to test and add chlorine less frequently.
The entire process continues until your overnight FC loss is 1.0 or less.
Procedure sounds correct: after using the powder and R-0871 to test FC, use 5 drops R-0003 (in the same sample) to detect CC and more R-0871 to clear it. I don't usually follow baq conversions, I just happened to peek at this one, so I can't say whether a ridiculous level of CC is normal (but just based on what's going on in the water, I would assume it's normal).amoses said:Just for the heck of it, I tried to check CC. Using the same sample that I had just checked for FC, (is that right or should I have used fresh sample) I put in the 5 drops in and the sample turned red, so I continued to add drops (about 40 more) and it never did get clear, it stayed very red. Am I doing something wrong?
amoses said:Okay, I see what I was doing wrong. I added the 5 drops of 003 and then, instead of switching back to 0871, I continued to use the 003. No wonder it never turned back clear. I wll go back to the 0871 drops next time. Should make a huge difference
