Hi All,
I'm sure there's a post somewhere in here about how the Taylor K-2006 or TF100 testing results are superior to any pool store readings but I wanted to double check since the results were extremely far apart and I was just about to add more Calcium Hardness to get up to the recommened level for SWG (300 ppm) but now, I'm a little bit iffy. Only reading that came out similar were the pH and CYA. Below are the results of the two.
Taylor K-2006
Free Chlorine 7.6
pH 7.7
Alkalinity 80
Calcium Hardness 250
Stabilizer 70
Salt (K-1766 Test) 3800
Pinch-A-Penny
Free Chlorine 3.0
pH 7.7
Alkalinity 100
Calcium Hardness 350
Stabilizer 70
Salt (K-1766 Test) 3500
Note, I've done several tests with my K-2006 because I've been trying to reduce the FC by reducing the output on the SWG or keeping it off completely, dial in the Alkalinity to 70-80 and Hardness to 300 and the results have been the same. So why the big difference?
Thanks all for your help.
