How to Test High Pool Chlorine Levels Using Dilution
- 1). Fill the test vile from the kit half full of pool water. Take the water from 18 inches below the surface of the water to ensure a good sample.
- 2). Add distilled water to fill the test vile the rest of the way.
- 3). Shake the vile to mix the liquids thoroughly.
- 4). Squeeze the reagents into the vile according to the instructions on the test kit you are using. Shake the vile to mix the reagents.
- 5). Read the number on the vile that corresponds to the color of the liquid. Multiply the number by 2; this is the true level of chlorine in the water. For example, if the liquid tests at 6 ppm, the true level is 12 ppm.
