CH test reads 0?

Yes, and it does not work. Like I said before I was playing around with it and found that it worked with about 8-10 drops of the indicator and I cross checked the results with the Taylor kit I have a few times and it is pretty close that way.

I' am very puzzled,when I did the test a few day's ago,it did just what it supposed too.After reading the post again this morning I did another test,and wouldn't you know, it never turned violet?????
We had a pretty good temperature drop and my water is only in the 40's,compare to the other day when it was in the 70's...
Could that be a problem with it???I' am no Expert,and really have a hard enough Time to understand all the other stuff going on in the pool...But now I' am very confuzzeld...

Ok,I had to check again before I post,and no it did not work,just like Waterbear said it took me 9 drops,and then it turned in more like a black grayish color????



@Sisie5,I have the Instructions.....

I will try to scan and post them

Well I'm also quite confused. I just re-did the test, and it only took 2 drops to turn the violet color. And then it too 10 drops to make it blue, which means my CH is 500ppm. Hmmm.. The only difference is that the pump hasn't kicked on today, so the water has sat motionless in the pool for about 13 hours. Could that alter the tests in any way?

Is 500ppm a bad thing? My TA is 60.
