Free Chlorine problem

[Seadog]

thanks, I watched them test it and it was some sort of machine that they put the water into, wasn't a test strip. no strong chlorine smell.

Thanks for all your help.

Yeah, then those results are junk. Get it retested somewhere that actually uses test reagents.

There are two ways to use strips:

1a) Dip the strip and look at the FC/Free Chlorine side. If it's white, I
have a problem. If it's deep purple, I'm probablly OK. Anything in
between I test with something ELSE that's more accurate.
b) Ignore ALL the other tests on the strip--they are totally worthless
because they are extremely inaccurate.

2) Don't use test strips.
