CYA graduated tube

[animous]

Love the TPF methodology and looking to better put it into practice, I even paid for the app. CYA level is such a fundamental part of it, but unfortunately my local pool shop doesn't do CYA tests or carry test kits. I'm Canada. Luckily the R-0013 reagent is available online though!

BUT obtaining the $4 graduated tube is proving to be.. challenging. The only one I found is part of the Pentair R151226 79 Cyanuric Acid Test Kit. Would I be able to use that tube with R-0013 reagent, or would the scale not be compatible?

Alternatively, any tips on where to buy a tube? Yes, I'm aware of cross border service, but for such a low-price item it doesn't sound like a cost efficient idea.

Thank you!

Can I send one to you privately? Would that pass customs?

Does canada restrict this testing equipment or is there just no market for it so it's hard to come by?

Thank you so much for offering! Yes, I'm quite confident it would pass customs. Sending you a PM to arrange details..

I think the market would definitely be there if more people knew about TFP. There's plenty of pool owners in Canada, but 99% (made up stat for the convenience of my example ) just buy what the pool store tells them to buy: a cycle of trichlore tabs, shock & algaecide, and partial drain + refill to break "chlorine lock". At my pool store, when I inquired about a cyanuric acid test kit, they wanted to sell me a pH test and I had to insist that wasn't it!
