    usually partial bleach out from high chlorine (very high). Try the test again with more DPD powder (3-4 scoops). If it still happens dilute your sample 1:1 with distilled water and test with a 10 ml sample then multiply your number of drops by 1 to get the FC and CC.

    Right on as usual Evan.

    I had upped my chlorine dose to two 1.4 gal jugs to ward off any potential algae bloom since the temps are now in the mid 90’s here and I had a 4th of July party planned.

    So on a hunch yesterday evening I did the 25ml CL test with two dippers and the CC came back clear as store bought glasses.

    Thanks for the tips.
