Hello all, great to be back after winter! I have a Taylor kit for high/low chlorine levels. I lost the instructions, and can't remember from last year. I know that you take a sample, I believe 10ml, add two scoops of th DPD powder, shake until dissolved. Now you count the drops of FAS-DPD Titrating reagent. Is each drop 1ppm or 0.5ppm?
Each drop is 0.5ppm. Welcome back to the forum!
Thank you, Watermom, glad you survived the winter!Quote:

The R-0871 (the one we were discussing above) is the one that tests for free chlorine. I believe you are now talking about the R-0003 which you do after the free chlorine test to test for combined chlorine and you are right -- it is 5 drops. After you add the R-0003, if CC is present, your sample will turn pink and you then again add R-0871 one drop at a time to find your CC reading. If the sample does not turn pink, then you have no CC. Hope this helps.
