I live in Tennessee. I've been using the Taylor Test kit since I found TFP. Is there a water temperature where the test results become invalid?
Do pool or spa water samples have to be at "room temperature" before testing begins?
With one exception, no. Our lab has run the pH, total alkalinity, calcium hardness, free chlorine, and cyanuric acid tests on known standard solutions at approximately 104°F, 75°F, 60°F, and 40°F. Only at 40°F did the CYA standard solution test higher than its actual value (after accounting for test variability). All other tests were unaffected by temperature differences.
I noticed that as well. For some reason my speedster stops spinning below 32 degrees Fahrenheit. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯Note that water temperatures below 32 degrees Fahrenheit can cause test problems. Water should be above 32 degrees Fahrenheit before testing.
