Calcium hardness test question


Recommended Posts

When I am testing my calcium hardness with the Taylor test kit I seem to be having a problem.  When I add start adding the drops that turn the water blue I notice there are little blobs floating around in the water.  They are blueish purple in color and the water changes from red to a little bluish.   It doesn't change anymore with more drops it just stays the same after that endpoint.   I don't see the water change to a vivid blue color like it should.  I tried adding 5-6 drops of the 3rd vial first like the instructions say but I still get the same result.  I guess my question is..... is that supposed to happen?  Does the water not turn into a strong blue color?  I might not be very clear in this explanation so feel free to ask me any questions to clear this up.  Thanks for your help in advance.
