Couldnt you also add 1/4 pool water, 1/4 cya reagent, and 50% tap water to test when cya is high?.....and then double the results.
This would save you 1/4 of the cya reagent.

jblizzle said:Oh the main reason to not do this is that there may not be enough CYA reagent to react with the pool water when the CYA levels are high ... that would still be 1:1 ratio of the pool to reagent. So, at high CYA levels, you likely need the extra reagent.
I have actually used what you stated. After doing the test normally, I dumped out have the mixture and added tap water. BUT, the only reason I was confident was the my CYA was around 70ppm and I was just trying to see if the diluted reading was more obvious around 35ppm.
