CBB9M just mentioned it on his last point, don't use concentrate coolant - someone already mentioned much earlier that coolant is not the stuff in the bottle, coolant is what's in your cooling system, and that should be a mix of anti freeze and water.
Most coolant checking devices i've seen/used, don't state the waters boiling point, that seems useless, it's for checking antifreeze concentration, which is all you care about.
As you live in CA, you don't actually need antifreeze in your engine, for testing purposes, and to keep the costs down, go ahead and use straight water in the system and see if it fixes the issue. Let us know.
