If you are getting a reading of 5 on your test kit, then it could be 5 or any number over 5 since that is the highest number on the scale. Check this link. It shows colors of higher readings than your OTO kit can read. http://pool9.net/oto-chart/

Based on that chart, what would you say that your chlorine reading is?

Actually, I hadn't checked my chlorine in two days and when I checked it today it was 3.0. I think this means I can end "vacation mode" and resume nightly doses of dichlor and follow the Super Simple recipe and BBB method!

Good deal.
