    Default Re: CYA Test

    Oh, this is all good to know cause I did my CYA inside the house and placed it on top of a white piece of paper... when I had the water tested (pool store four days before)it was 53 and when I did the test a few days later (practice ) it was like 80!!!! I will wait for a sunny day and do it outside.....
    THANKS FOR THE INFORMATION!!!!

    Actually, this test is best done outside in the shade with the tube held about waist level.

    I do the test outside, standing on one leg and leaning over a brick wall, while chewing gum. And if that dont work I will slap myself in the eyes and while they are still watering do the test.
