Testing Very ColdWater

[ghall6292]

Which tests are adversely affected by very cold water (45 degrees?) I will not be opening my pool for at least another month, but I just want to see how my chems survived the winter. I suppose I could just let my Solo cup of pool water sit until it warms to room temp, but that would show patience... Don't want to damage my reputation!

Thanks!

CYA needs to be warmed to 70.

Everything else is good 50-90 degrees.

Thanks! I'm already warmed up to 50 degrees in less than an hour. I'll just wait until the cup warms up to 70 degrees and test everything at once.
