How to process a pool water sample by the MPN technique of the Standard Methods?

Hello everyone,
It will be correct to analyze a pool water sample for coliforms with the MPN technique of the Standard Methods with a series of 10 tubes and not a series of 5 tubes, because normally potable water is processed with a series of 10 tubes and non-potable water with a 5 tube series.
