    Carolina,
    They are probably tesing with DPD and not OTO. OTO (turns yellow) doesn't bleach out, which is it's one great plus. DPD (turns red) does. It will only test TC however.
    Edit: Whoops! My brain locked up too! I meant to say above that OTO only tests total chlorine! I was thinking that when I typed the last line above!
