    As far as diluting 1:1 and multipling the results by 2...yes that is fine. You can even go as high as 4 parts water to one part pool water and multiply by 5. The more you dilute the less accurate your test becomes but it will be in the ballpark. In face, CarlD calls this his "shotglass method" beause he recommends a shotglass for measuring! Only change I would make to this is to wash the shotglass out afterward and use it to mix a nice drink to sip while floating in the pool
