Diluted CYA and Chlorine Test

Hello can someone please remind me how to do the diluted Chlorine Test as doing slam and don’t have easy access to agents. Also would appreciate instructions for the diluted CYA test as well. Thank you

I take it that the diluted FC test is 5ml pool and 5ml fresh and then each drop is 1 FC?

Sure, for slam is fine, but you should use 10mL for OCLT and daily pool care.

Is there a way of using half the agent for the CYA, so instead of 7.5 ml I use half that amount? Its hard to get agents down here where I am based in the Caribbean, so just for checking CYA without using all that liquid.

There is not. You need enough solution to fill the tube.

There is no reason to dilute the 5ml FC test. Just use 5ml pool water and each drop is 1 FC.
