I just received the kit I ordered from in the swim to tide me over until Ben's issues are resolved.

It's an OTO kit that measures FC, TC, PH, Alk and acid demand. I'll skip the last test.

Directions for PH and Alk are fairly straight forward. I'm wondering about the chlorine tests though.

Color chart reads 0-3 ppm. Should I just automatically dillute my pool water 1:1 with distilled water and multiply times 2 or even 1:2 then x 3? I run low stabilizer, and have been maintaining my residual between 2-4 based on test sticks and bleach calc #s.

I guess if I don't dillute and I get a 3 ppm reading, I should dillute and retest, and repeat for as long as I get a 3 ppm result?

The directions for FC and CC are interesting. Says to fill to line, add 5 drops of solution, shake to mix and match color within 2-3 seconds. To get CC, wait 1-2 minutes and check color again, subtract the difference.

Does this sound right?

The kit is produced by poolmaster. I've tried to get on their website, but it's not working at the moment (poolmaster.com).
