Hey guys trying to get my pool cleared up. When doing my TA test from TF 100 It turns a light green when I add R0008 then once I pit in 12 drops of R0009 it turns clear, doesn't go to red. Do this mean my TA is 0?
 
From Extended Test Directions - Pool School
Counting the number of drops as you go, add R-0009 one drop at a time, swirling to mix after each drop.
  1. Continue adding drops until the color changes to something more or less red, pink, yellow, or clear. The sample may switch between green, blue, and gray while you are adding drops. That is not the color change you are waiting for.
  2. Continue adding drops as long as the color continues changing. The final drop, that does not change the color any further, does not count.
Sounds like your TA is 120.
 
Do you get scale flakes out of the returns? The SWCG will shed scale if the pH and / or TA get too high.

Otherwise, manage pH in the 7's, the TA will settle where it does.
