High FC and pH testing

[Big Splash]

I am aware the FC levels of greater than 10ppm will affect pH testing. And, one can dilute the pH test sample with distilled water in order to overcome the issue. My question is there any other reliable way to compensate for higher FC and pH testing?

such as;

1) Using a scale to adjust for the testing error? That is... if FC levels = XXppm greater than 10ppm, compensate result by X.XpH?

or

2) Adding two drops of the R-0007 (sodium thiosulfate) chlorine neutralizer prior to testing pH?

If I'm way off track (not uncommon for me), please let me know.

Thanks,
Splash

No and no. Sorry. I have never tried the dilution method myself.

Jason, thanks for the reply. 50/50 sample and distilled water works fine. Just looking to simplify while keeping at higher FC levels. I'm keeping my FC right about 10ppm with my CYA at 60. I have constant leaves dumping into my pool.

FC at 10 shouldn't be a problem for the Taylor PH test. Between 10 and 15 it only reads a little high, close enough for most use.

And thank you Jason

Maybe I'll post a comparison of tests if I ever need to SLAM again. I hope I would not need to do that, but it might be informative.
