walleye Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 Question on the test for bromine. The Taylor kit says to add 2 dippers of R-0870. It says if it does not turn pink to keep adding until it does, then do the test as you would normally. Question is this, If that works does it work in the opposite? if it turns pink with 1 dipper, is that OK to perform the test with? Not a crisis question but just one I wonder about. Seems as long as it is pink that is sufficient? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chem geek Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 It's OK to use one scoop if you want to save on the R-0870. The transition from pink to clear will be somewhat less obvious, but not a big error. By the way, you only have to keep adding powder if you see a flash of pink and need to add more for it to hold because the bromine level is very high. If you add a few dippers worth and don't see a flash of pink, then the bromine level is zero. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
