    Default Re: Odd Color Change when Testing for Chlorine

    I have seen the LaMotte reagents turn that color on the FC test after standing a few minutes. LaMotte says the FC should be read within 30 seconds of performing the test. From the reagent numbers I see you are using the Taylor reagents. I have not experienced that with them but I am going to test tomorrow and let the test sit to see if it develps the same off color I have seen with the LaMotte reagents. Might be normal, especially if the DPD solution is getting old.
