    Default strange test color

    Hello all,
    Thanks to all the helpful people in this forum, I had a very successful first pool season. Now I am starting to close my pool and just tested the cl, using my five way test kit from hth, and the cl turned a rust, almost orange color. Any thoughts....
    Thanks again everyone.

    Roxy, sounds like you've got high cl, did you add bleach before testing?

    Having done construction and service for 4 pool companies in 4 states starting in 1988, what I know about pools could fill a couple of books - what I don't know could fill libraries
