I got my new Taylor 2006 test kit and the first thing I tested for was chlorine. Can someone tell me if I am doing it right, because I am getting significantly different results than when I use my cheap Walmart OTO kit.
Here's how I tested:
I followed the instructions and put two dippers of R-0870 in 10 ml of water and I could not get the pink to change. So then I tried just one dipper of R0870 in 10 ml of water and then I used 16 drops of R-0871 to get it to change. Am I suppossed to multiply 16 drops times 5 ppm to get my chlorine reading? If that's the case that puts me at like 80 ppm!! When I test with my OTO kit, I get a reading of 3-4 ppm. Am I doing something wrong?
