Testing FC levels

[JulieFeenstra123]

I opened my pool yesterday and started my SLAM. I added more bleach than recommended but I figured that wouldn't hurt anything. I went to test my FC this morning. When I add the drops of 871 and swirl, the solution becomes clear (even with the first drop it becomes crystal clear) and stays clear for a good minute. But if I keep swirling, it becomes light pink. It seems strange to me. It does stay clear for a decent amount of time but does revert back to pink eventually. Should it stay clear?

Once it turns clear it is done. Yes, it can turn back pink after a while, that doesn't count.

That normal as said above. But get some chlorine in the water cause if it turns clear after one drop that means there’s basically zero chlorine in there.
