    I just noticed that you have two threads going with basically the same question, one answered by Carl and then the other answered by me. I have merged the other thread into this one. It is best not to start multiple threads with the same questions as it makes it more difficult to help. Thanks!

    Can't have TC=3 and FC=10. Not possible. TC= FC + CC always by definition.

    Good catch, Carl. I misread their post as FC 3 and TC 10.

    dncellis2, please confirm your chlorine readings.

    dncellis2 has to be using guess strips. I notice sometimes a batch will consistently read LOWER on TC than FC.

So Ill be needing yalls help with these Talor readings.Wow, what a kit.Its not a kit, Its a lab.

    Sometimes, especially if it is a post where I am taking a long time to type, before I click to post it, I will copy the post first just in case. That way, if the software times out before I get it posted or for whatever reason, I don't lose my post.

    Glad you got the kit. Ignore the book that comes with it. The kit is great but the book is not. These testing demos might be helpful to you.
