test strips

I have a Chairman II and use the vision cartridge.  When I use the test strips the chlorine part of the test strip always stays white.  Is this normal or do I need to add something?  Does it matter which filter area the vision cartridge goes in?Very confused and water is green.

Tubber:
You've got no sanitizer in there. If the dealer told you you do not need it they are full of it. There are only 3 FDA approved sanitizers Chlorine, Bromine, and Baqua Spa.

Agreed.

You should have some level of sanitizer, even if it's a low level, or you are at risk.

I would get a good reliable test kit vs those darn strips.  I had the same problem and there was definately sanitizer in there.  I was fed up, went don and got a decent chemical based kit (easy to use) and found I was doing things fine.  Prior to this some here could attest to my level of frustration.

Chas:
Before you go buy a test kit, add some chlorine! Try about two dry ounces. Run the jets for a couple of minutes, and then try a test. If the color is still white, you have a problem.
