How do i use this fancy test kit?

[RaeHib]

I bought one of those fancy test kits yall said i had to have.
How do i use it?
I read the instructions but its Greek to me.
And I've read all the ABCs & Pool School stuff.
I need someone to translate this to layman's terms because i have never had a pool before.

This kit is not appropriate for beginners.
First test is chlorine. Ok. First sentence. "For one drop = 0.2 ppm use 25 mL sample. For one drop = 0.5 ppm use ten mL sample."
Which do i want? .2 or .5?
Also how do i know how many mLs this test tube is? There's no measurement markings.

I assume you have the Taylor k2006?
You can go to YouTube and enter Taylor K2006 test kit and get a bunch of videos.
It should have measurements. I have the TF100 so I am not sure on the K2006.

These videos show how to do the different tests.

Save your reagents and use the 10 ml sample for FC testing. Divide the number of drops by two...(i.e. 10 drops divided by 2 = 5 ppm)

What? Idk what you are talking about. Like i said i don't even know how to tell what ten mLs is because there's no measuring units on the test tube.

Glad you got your test kit! Let's take this a step at a time. Can you tell us which kit you have? It'll help us to help you!

Theres nothing with any measurements on it. It has 2 tubes side by side with a pH scale in the middle. A whole bunch of bottles of reagents. And a wheel with a bunch of numbers.

It doesn't have any of that stuff.

I cant figure out how to post a picture of it.

Who makes it and is there a number on it? Like Taylor K2006-C or something similar.

 

[RaeHib]

Yes that is what it is.
Am i supposed to buy more pieces for it?

 

[Leebo]

If I may ask, where did you buy this kit at?

 

[RaeHib]

From one of your links

 

[Leebo]

Can you please share that link?

There are markings on the side of the tube for 10ml and 25 ml. The 10ml mark is closer to the bottom of the tube, and the 25ml mark is approximately 1/2 way up the tube. The markings are molded into the plastic.

Idk it was somewhere on this site but theres a whole lot of stuff on here.

A. TF-100 Test Kit

B. K-2006

Is it either of these two?

 

[RaeHib]

Nvm i found an unused medicine dropper that has measurements on it so that'll work. I'll just fill the dropper & put that in the test tube.
One problem solved.

It is on the side of the big measuring end.

 

[RaeHib]

Yes the 2006. I thought i said that.
