He was asking about the diluted as suggested by Ben, on the CYA test. His normal test is >100.
From PoolDoc's post above:
As I understand it, Ben did a typo in the instructions. Should be 7mL diluted pool water, then R-0013 to 14mL mark, mix, let stand 30sec, etc. Then yes, multiply what you see on the side of the tube by 3.Distilled water + CYA test:
1. Get a 1 gallon jug of distilled -- not bottled, not spring, not natural, but DISTILLED -- water.
2. Collect a sample of pool water.
3. Pour 2/3 of a cup of DISTILLED water into a CLEAN container.
4. Pour 1/3 of POOL water into the same container; mix.
5. Collect your 14 ml of CYA test sample from the MIX in #4
6. Add 14 ml of melamine (R0013) reagent to the test bottle. Mix
7. Wait 15 seconds; mix again.
8. Wait 45 seconds; then test.
9. Multiply results x 3
