I’m getting different readings for CYA levels between the Taylor test kit, my Water guru and the store. Which would be most accurate? Or does anyone have which test kit for CYA is best?
Taylor is the most accurate, albeit subjectively. The other 2 serve no purpose but to confuse it further. Maybe they agree, maybe they don't. But they don't affect the reading you see with the Taylor either way.
Purchase the Taylor sample solution. It's 50 CYA and you can train yourself to what you should be looking for.
^^ I agree. Stick to your own Taylor kit home testing. Follow our testing guidance, and if you still feel unsure, you're best bet is to have a friend or family member do the test as well. Go outside together and let them pour the solution into the viewing tube 2-3 times to get their own number. Don't tell them your result until they are done. Then compare your results together.
