I installed a new pool last week. For kicks I did the Taylor DPD test before adding any sanitizer, and it stayed clear.
Added a gallon of 10% chlorine day before yesterday and tested 24hrs later with dpd, didnt turn pink, even after 15 scoops.
My question is, I left a 2nd test sample of the 10% LC only-treated water in the tube sit out for about 24 hours. It had maybe 5 scoops of dpd powder. Was clear yesterday. But this morning, it’s pink. What happened there?
