Welcome to our forum.
I gave you WRONG info on the PPM. It's 4.5 PPM NOT 12 PPM. SORRY!!!!!If you're using bromine, chlorine WON"T show up ... bromine converts chlorine to bromine.
I'm using dichlor, but some of my test strips have a spot for Bromine and that did change along with the MPS, event though its been nearly 2 weeks since I used MPS.
So, should I superchlorinate and see if I get a reading?I've only ever used test strips and they have worked fine. Â I usually only test weekly or less. Â I tried a few different brands and nothing registered.
Hmmm... I just did an experiment. Â I added 1 TBS of dichlor and then about 1 minute later I tested in the filter box, the color was dark purple. Â A couple minutes later I added 1 more TBS and then tested the general water area. Â The color was white. Â So I tested in the filter area again... and white. Â So this leads me to believe that it is bleaching the test strips. Â I'm leaving the cover off for a bit and will test again later. Â I think I'll put it in my plans to change the water soon.
