test strips

<< < (2/2)

Lori:
I believe I have read somewhere (I think it was you Chas) but can't the chlorine "bleach" the test strip?  Where it would just be white?  If there is a huge quantity (10 ppm or higher) of chlorine, could this be the problem?

I use a test kit for my chlorine.  My test strips only measure MPS, which is ok, but it doesn't tell me how much chlorine I have!

Just a thought!  Maybe I'm way off base!

dpgtech:
Definitely add some chlorine. Ozone and Nature2 or vision cartridges alone will not work. this is not the first time I have heard of these issues.  You have to use some sanitizer.  how old are the strips?  old strips or a little bit of moisture can mean improper reading.  Green water is definitely not right.  Del ozone even says a residual of some type of sanitizer

Mark_Vee:
I agree you will want to add some chlorine to bring the sanitized level up.  The pure vision cartridge will go in to the filter that is being used by the circulation pump ( the one without the floating weir)  I would also recommend taking your water into your local dealer and having it tested.  You can compare this test to the test that you do with your test strips.

Roborph:
 Yeah, add dichlor. I add some daily, at least 1 tsp and shock once weekly...

Chas:
Not enough.
