To be clear, I said for her to order it and posted the same link you did. I also mentioned it is very rare to find them in stores unless you have a commercial supply in your area.

There are several commercial supplies around me as I live in a very blue collar and industrial town. I have a Valspar factory, Kraft factory, Sherwin Williams factory, US Foods, Peterbuilt factory, the list is long... all within about a 3 mile radius. The one in particular I go to is Leslie's Commercial Service Center. It is not a storefront, they do not have float toys or anything like that in their lobby. Just some huge containers of chems and a counter where folks can look up stuff for you and go pick it out and load it up for you. Truly only a commercial supply. I like it because there's nobody there to test your water or to try to talk you into any junk.

Pool Plaza is just to the north of me, and has the K2006 and the individual FAS-DPD.

The 870 and 871 isn't on their website, but they had it last time I called. I didn't go in because the Leslie's Commercial is a lot closer, only 2 miles from my home.

With all that said, I have no problem showing a picture of all my reagents. 99% of them are from Dave. I have one container of Taylor 870 because I ran out and needed it quickly.

We are on the same page

I think the only reports we have had of people finding it locally are at the commercial supply places ... which homeowners are not likely aware of. I missed your mention of this earlier, sorry about that.

The kids at the stores probably won't even know what you are talking about when you call, and might even say to come on in because they carry "everything".

One more thing, don't feel too bad about buying the Leslie's version of the K-2005 it is close to what you need, you just need to add one individual test to it, the FAS-DPD chlorine test, I think this is the only difference between the K-2005 (which has the plain DPD Chlorine test) and the suggested K-2006 or TF-100. (both the Taylor K-2006 and the often suggested TFTest Kits TF-100 use the same chemistry, they are just presented a little differently, the K-2006 gives you equal size bottles of all the reagents in a neat little blue box, the TF-100 by comparison uses varying sizes of bottles with larger bottles of the reagents you use most.
