Review: Cut loose the pool company and their (often bad) advice! - QUICK SUMMARY: This is the exact and perfect kit to test your pool or spa water. It is accurate, easy to use, and will save you a TON of money because you won't have to blindly follow the advice of your neighborhood pool store. Highly recommended!! Background: We just had built a new backyard pool this summer. Initially, I took water samples every week to two (sometimes three) different pool stores that sell chemicals and equipment to pool owners. I quickly learned that water testing is half-art and half-science. I also learned that NOBODY will be as careful to perform water tests on your pool water than YOU. Finally, I learned that there is so much variation in testing methods -- leading to differing, often conflicting advice from the pool pro at the pool store -- that the best course of action is to just do everything yourself. It's easy to do, and it'll save you money, too. More background info: I mentioned above that I had my water tested by two (or three) pool companies. Using water samples taken at the same time and place in my pool, and having the water tested within the hour, these pool companies would give sometimes widely varying test results -- leading to sometimes conflicting advice. Example: Pool Co #1 said my free chlorine was 4 ppm, while Pool Co. #2 said my free chlorine was either near zero or super high, like around 10 ppm. Example #2: Pool Co. #1 said my Total Alkalinity was way too high; add acid! Pool Co. #2 said my alkalinity was a little low; add baking soda! Whom do I believe? This is why I test my own water now -- I *very carefully* measure everything, including the amount of water being tested, and the drops of the chemicals I add to the water. I'm not in a rush; I want accurate test results. What I LIKE: - It's easy to learn how to test your pool water for all the essential things: Free Chlorine, Combined Chlorine, pH, Total Alkalinity, Calcium Hardness and Cyanuric Acid (stablizer). Only the cyanuric acid test is a little tricky, but you can easily repeat that test over and over without using more test chemicals (more on that later). - There is a very helpful pamphlet included in this kit that explains a lot about water testing and sanitizing. It's pretty easy to read, too. - Using this kit lets you very precisely determine chlorine levels, including both free and combined chlorine, without having to do any color matching. In fact, there is no color matching for any of the tests except the pH test. What Could Be BETTER: - I wish the kit came with a larger supply of the chemicals you use the most: the powder and drops used with the chlorine test, and the red drops used for the pH test. These are the tests you'll want to perform daily. The other tests can be done between once a week and once a month. - The kit should point users to the Taylor website's videos which show how to perform the tests. Additional Advice: Using this kit, I'm taking a minimalist attitude towards pool chemicals. I don't shock the pool -- EVER -- unless combined chlorine is 1.0. That saves money on chlorine. I don't add clarifiers, phosphate removers, shocks, superchlorinators. I keep my pool water around 3-4ppm with high levels of stablizer so the chlorine doesn't get burned up in the sun. I do add algicide once a week as a precaution against algae. And I only add acid when pH rises to 7.8 or higher. Advice on Testing Procedure: Taylor (the manufacturer) says that to measure the liquid drops correctly, you must invert the bottle 180 degrees -- not 90, 120 or 150 degrees. Turn the bottle completely upside down and SLOWLY squeeze the bottle to form full drops that fall into your test water. If you turn the bottle horizontally (90 degree rotation), then squeeze, the drops you create are undersized and you don't get accurate results because you added too little test chemical into your water. I am shocked at how pool pros at pool stores and others who maintain public swimming pools use Taylor chemicals but don't follow Taylor's instruction on performing the test procedure! I've already disregarded the advice of the "pros" who have suggested that I add this chemical or that chemical to my pool. Using this Taylor kit, I am confident that I can continue keeping my pool water crystal clear and sparkling by spending 5 minutes a day doing chlorine and pH tests, and a few more minutes doing the other tests on Saturday morning. If I followed the advice of the "pros", I would've dumped acid into my pool when I didn't need to, or I would have shocked my pool even though there was no reason to do so. With knowledge comes power, and this Taylor kit gives me the knowledge I need to maintain my own pool water quality. Highly recommended!!! 9/6/2012 UPDATE: It's been a year now since I wrote the above review. I re-affirm everything I wrote. My water has been sparkly clear every day of the year, and I've only shocked the pool once, just before a big pool party with lots of kids. I only use algicide after a big rain, not once a week. I test my water every 2-3 days now. I still take water samples to the area pool stores every couple of months, but I trust my results before I trust theirs. One tip I didn't mention in my review: use only one scoop of the FAS-DPD powder, not two, if the water turns pink after adding just one scoop (it always turns pink for me after one scoop). Adding the extra scoop when the water is already pink doesn't improve or detract from the test you're performing, but it does waste the expensive powder unnecessarily. 12/20/2013 UPDATE: Wow! Thanks, desertcart-ers, for all the Helpful votes! :-) This summer, we dropped using algicide altogether, even after big rains. We keep our pool in the 3.0 to 4.0 free chlorine range, and that apparently has kept algae and pink slime away without adding any other chemicals to our pool. I probably saved $50-$100 this year not using algicide. If I am worried about water clarity after a party or big rain, I add 1.5 gallons of unscented, plain Clorox (which is just diluted form of pool store liquid chlorine). The pool was spotless, crystal clear and enjoyable all year long. I also don't test the water every day, either; instead, I test the water 2-3 times a week. Because the water condition is held constant for so long, and because I know my pool and pool water so well, testing more frequently than this is unnecessary. If you're just starting out, test every day until you really understand your pool and how to balance your water. Then, back-off testing it daily but not less than 2-3x per week. I can't believe how easy it is to maintain crystal clear water. Note that I added the extra advice, above, on the test procedure to use, since it's important to not only use good quality test chemicals, but also to follow a correct test procedure, too. 01/22/2017 UPDATE: I don't have a salt test kit, and my salt water chlorine generator's salt reading was reading high (it does that when the water temp drops). So, I went to three pool stores to have my pool water tested (two of them Pinch-a-Penny stores, one a local pool store). Below are the results from the three stores. Salt reading? 3000 or 3300 or 3750 Chlorine level? 1.5 or 4.0 or 4.0 (I got 5.5 from my own testing) pH? 7.3, 7.6, 7.4 (I got 7.2; I added acid an hour earlier) Alkalinity? 80 or 85 or 120 (I tested 85 after adding a little baking soda when it was 80) Calcium hardness? 270 or 330 or 290 (I got 380) Stabilizer? 25 or 80 or 60 (it's 60, and has been for months) I watched one guy (who didn't test my water) shake drops out (NO! gently squeeze them out). Another squeezed drops holding the bottle horizontally (NO! hold the bottle completely upside down). The imprecision of these pool stores in their testing process is observable if you know what to look for. The kicker? My chlorine has been high because the water cooled. The Pinch-a-Penny that told me my chlorine was only 1.5 said I should I use the Boost button to increase my chlorine. NO!! Never, NEVER trust a pool store to test your pool water. (I'm going to buy my own Taylor salt test kit now....)
Review: Valuable Kit for Clear Spa Water - Last year we replaced our spa and at the same time we switched from bromine to chlorine based on the dealers recommendation. I decided to put more effort into fully understanding water chemistry because in the past we've had problems with itchy skin and cloudy water and I wanted to avoid that. This test kit has been an essential part of continuously having a spa with crystal clear water and no irritation. The testing is intimidating at first, but within a few days the testing becomes routine and you don't have to recheck the instructions. I actually look forward to doing the tests. The booklet that comes with the kit is an incredible teaching aid. Just digest it a little at a time because it can be a bit much all at once. There is no guesswork. I know exactly how much chemical to use based on the test readings. I now have my bottles marked with how much to use based on how far I need to move the needle. I never overshoot when adding chemicals. Highly recommend if you want consistently clean water. For reference I use granulated chlorine with non-chlorine shock.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the difference between K-2005 and K-2006**
A: K-2006 has DPD Powder for Chlorine testing, K-2005 has a liquid reagent.  DPD Powder is more accurate.

**Q: how many CYA tests can you do with this kit?**
A: You will be able to test six times and have a couple ml left over with the reagent that comes with the test. Then you can either order reagent R-0013 from Amazon or buy it from your local pool store. The actual test may be done unlimited times using this kit so long as you buy more R-0013 to go with it.

**Q: Is this test kit also good for salt pools?**
A: Yes

**Q: can this be used for salt pools?**
A: This kit can be used for salt water pools, but it doesn't test for sodium chloride (salt) content.  This kit tests for chlorine, pH, alkalinity, calcium hardness and Cyanuric Acid.  I use this regularly on my salt water pool, but also purchased the Taylor K-1766 sodium chloride kit

I can confidently say that this kit has improved the quality of my pool water, and it gives me peace of mind knowing that I’m using a professional-grade tool. It’s an investment that pays off in the long run, both in terms of time saved and the health of your pool. In conclusion, if you’re still using dip sticks like I was, it’s time to upgrade to the TAYLOR TECHNOLOGIES INC K-2006 TEST KIT. Don’t be like me and wait too long to make the switch. This kit changes everything and makes pool maintenance a breeze. Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐🏊‍♂️🔬
