Speed vs Smart Stir

[Ktm41]

We are about a week from finishing our pool build. We are first time pool owners so have lots to learn!

We are planning to order the TF100 Salt test kit and considering either the smart or speed stir. Is there much difference or one that you would recommend over the other?

Thanks!

They both do the same thing & are the same price on tftestkits.
The tfPro & tfpro salt currently come with the smart stir.
They both have a 1 yr warranty if purchased from tftestkits.
The speed stirs were hard to come by for a while due to shortages so the smart stir was introduced as an option. Most people are happy with either one.

If using a TF100, the smart stir is smaller and will take up less room in the already crowded kit.

I removed a couple of dividers to fit the speed stir and salt test and it was always a mess trying to perfectly fit everything.

If you're buying a stir device and a TF100, the $21 difference to the TFPro is worth every last penny IMO for the organization of the nicer case. Having had both, i appreciate the pro every last time I use it.

They both do the job. It has always seemed to me the SmartStir is just a little better built (good, dependable design) but I think that might be my imagination working overtime.

The Smart Stir looks like it would be a good spare to have in case my Speed Stir goes bad, Is the Smart Stir compatible with the Taylor 9198 Vial?
