Hi, I know that I need to get a decent test kit but am struggling. We are in the uk so can't get the TF kit. Would anybody be able advise on what I could get instead?
Many Thanks.

The Taylor K-2006 kit is pretty close to the TF-100. It has everything you need to get accurate test results. It tests: FC, CC, TA, CYA, CH, and PH. I think I covered them all.
Palintest make good kits too. You can search for it but I believe it's the 315C that you want.

I use the Palintest SP315C. It covers Travis's list except CC. It's all tablets, DPD 1, Phenol Red, CH and TA and the vital CYA. I bought mine from www.poolandspachemicals.co.uk (Confederate Chemicals Ltd) for around £60 inc postage. They were the only firm I could find selling them, apart from Palintest themselves at a slightly higher price.
It was the only moderately priced kit I could find with the CYA test. It is daylight robbery, a few plastic tubes, a few tablets, but you just have to take the hit.
There was a firm in Scotland who sold spas that came with a Taylor kit included. He supplied reagents, but wouldn't supply a kit to me. At least with the 315C the main tests tabs (FC and pH) are available everywhere.

That's brilliant. Thank you very much for the advice. I will look into those later.
Thanks again. Kerry

Palintest also has a FAS-DPD test, but it seems to be only sold in the U.S. You might ask Palintest about that and if they have any plans to sell it in Europe. The combination of that kit plus the SP 315C would be equivalent to the Taylor K-2006 in terms of the tests.
