You WANT FC and TC to be the same and in a well maintained pool, they typically are because that would mean that your CC would be 0. But, that is not what you wrote in your post above which I quoted. In that one, you wrote that TC and CC as being the same. Big difference. If your TC and CC are the same, it would mean that your FC was 0 and that would be a BAD thing!

Make sense??

BTW -- the test kit will give you the ability to get FC, CC and TC readings with none of the little tablets. It will be a lot easier to use and read.
