    Pamsel,
    It would keep things a lot less confusing for the responders if you would start your own thread instead of adding a question to an existing thread....you're way more likely to get good answers, and the responders are less likely to get your situation confused with the original poster's problems..

    To answer your question, you need to keep adding the acid until your pH starts to move, because it has to come down for your alk to be lowered.

    And to measure Cl higher than 5, you can use CarlD's dilution method for a ballpark Cl reading with the test kit you have, or you can get exact measurements up to 50 ppm from the dpd/fas chlorine testing in the PS 234.

    Thanks

    Janet

    Thank you Janet, I will stick to my own thread. I guess I was reading and saw this thread which seemed similar to my problem and jumped in. I will remember not to "cross over" from now on.

    Thank you Marie, also for your help here. Now, I'll get back to where I belong!
