I checked the kit I got from Leslie's - It says it's manufactured for Leslie's Swimming Pool Supplies by Taylor Technologies, Inc. and the Pool & Spa Water Tests sheet says Taylor 11/05. The back of the instruction sheet is filled with instructions to raise chlorine level by 1ppm; superchlorinaton for algae removal; to raise pH with soda ash; to lower pH with muriatic acid; to lower pH with dry acid; to raise total alkalinity with baking soda; to lower total alkalinity with muriatic acid; to lower total akalinity with dry acid; to raise calcium hardness with calcium chloride.... but no dilution instructions.

That's why I did the chlorine test with my little Walmart OTO chemicals; and the rest with the Leslie's DPD test kit.

Was I wrong? Should I have done all the tests with the same chemicals?
