Title: Taylor Kit question
Post by: cajun1 on April 25, 2007, 10:36:58 am

I just got a new Taylor kit.  When testing for alkalinity, it says to add the drops one at a time and count until it turns red.  Well, mine turns pink.  Is that the same thing?

If its a bright pink yeah its not a prob      put a couple more drops in and see if it changes to red if not then when it goes to pink use that as your number & multiply by 10 to get your reading     The it wont go red like your R04 solution for ph if thats what your looking for.
