Taylor K2006 Complete Pool Water Test Kit K-2006

Had water quality issues for a while off the cheaper kits, then came this. Extremely easy to use and very accurate results, my pool was crystal clear within days of using this. Don’t let the price deter you as you are paying for what you get. I’ll never use another brand again!

Great test kit, I just wish they were more widely available in the UK and at more reasonable prices like they are in the US

excellent

2 reagent bottles missing for testing free and total chlorine

I received this as a present... Ideal , 5 drops of 1 and 5 drops of 2 for chlorine reading.. hmmmmm couldn't find them in the kit .. they don't come in the kit. Returning for a refund,

Très bon produit

Want a flawless pool? Get a Taylor Test Kit and follow the Trouble Free Pool system for maintaining your own pool. Look up Trouble Free Pool on the internet. Learn about your pool's water chemistry. It's not as difficult as people think. The people there are super nice. There is also an article about which test kit would best fit your needs. Have any questions, just ask them! Testing Kits are NOT the item you want to skimp on. These tests tell you the health of your pool.

This was shipped quickly to Ontario, Canada in under 1 week from ordering. The kit is of good quality and the case it comes with is very durable. The testing kit is good and has produced good result for me. I have not yet tested against a pool store but the kit gets you detailed readings of your chemicals. This kit tests Total + Free Chorine, Alkalinity, PH, CYA, and Hardness. It easy to use and the instructions are clear. My chlorine testing bottles expire 09/21 and the rest of my kits drops expire 6/22. Some tests do use quite a bit of the solutions and I am preparing to have to buy more near the end of the season.

There are similar test kits out there, I cannot speak for those. I got a 7500 gallon above ground pool hearing my whole life how much of a nightmare they are and how expensive the chemicals are. I didn't care, I wanted a pool. I also got test strips, they were not nearly good enough. This pool is round, 18ft diameter and 52" deep. The volume of your pool directly reflects how much your chemicals will cost. I'll kind of break that down as well in this review. Keep in mind, my pool is only 7500 gallons. I ordered this. It allows you to do a bunch of tests and comes with a nice guidebook on what it all means. It's a lot but if you read the little book it's very interesting and gives you an actual understanding of some of the many things happening in your water. The bottle sizes are small and you can only test for CYA a handful of times (you shouldn't need more than this kit for a solid summer of learning) and some of the tests you only need to do once or twice a season, so those bottles will last a long time. For the tests that require frequent testing, which changes depending on your water source, there is quite a bit here. I have very high alkalinity in my water, so there was a lot of alkaline and PH tests I had to do before I got that in check. My hardness was alright, and PH will move around a bit since chemicals aren't neutral, but for me my PH tends to go up, so a couple bottles of muriatic acid lasts the entire year, easily. I'll review the product first. I love this thing. There's 2 sizes so it's recommended to get the one with the larger size bottles. I got the smaller one and honestly it's enough. As I said, most of the tests aren't even monthly tests, and even the larger size bottles are still pretty small for the regular tests. You can purchase a 16oz bottle of R-0871 and a half pound of R-0870 powder for less than the cost of this entire kit, and you'll be able to test chlorine every day of the year 20 times if you want. So i recommend getting this kit, learning the chemistry, then just buying large bottles from Taylor of the refills you use often. This is a perfect starting point though and it will save you money. Most of the tests are very simple once you get the hang of it. Get a water sample, put in a few drops of a certain bottle, put in drops from another bottle, reference a sheet, add what it says. A few have an extra step and a few have even less steps. Once you learn it, you can pop out a chlorine test in a minute. I pretty much end up putting a red solo cup (2 cups) of 10% liquid chlorine in the pool a day now that the pool is balanced, and every 2 weeks I need to add a cup of muriatic acid. Of course you need to balance everything first and get your CYA levels right, but if you read the booklet you'll understand all that in no time. Cost: So I spent the summer learning and trying to figure out the ins and outs so I did a few experiments so I probably used more chemicals than I had to overall just to get the hang of it, but here's what I spent. I spent about 20 dollars in muriatic acid, bought a massive bottle of pool conditioner(cya) for like 30 bucks that should last years, a box of shock powder packets for 30 bucks, and about a gallon of 10% liquid chlorine a week. sometimes more, sometimes less. Those gallon jugs are 6 bucks each approx. Overall, now that it's balanced, on average for a 7500 gallon pool, I don't spend more than 10 bucks a week. The odd time I go on vacation and the water gets a little out of control, I just shut off the pump, let it settle, and vacuum it out to waste a few times then dump in a packet of shock powder and turn the pump back on and clean everything a couple more times and it's crystal clear again. I'm about to now purchase larger sizes of the chemicals to check chlorine levels and I should be good to go for years.

Product came as described and was a great value !!!!
