I actually saw a leslies rebranded 2006A one day. So it may be possible. It wasn't cheap though. They might find one a Walmart. I been reading that folks have found a 6-way drop tester there. Not at mine though.

Funny thing is, if you take the same sample back to the same store, you will get a different answer 90% of the time. So I wouldn't put too much faith in those numbers.
You are getting close. Looks like my pool 2-3 days before it hit "perfect"..... YOU NEED THE TF-100....and you went thru exactly what I did as a newbie to the TFP site. Look at my thread in same forum with 2 pix taken after following all the advice herein to the letter. You can read the date on a quarter dropped in 6 feet. I wish I had thought to take pix before I started.

So just curious after canceling my order fir the test kit, which is better the tf100 or the k2006
you won't regret it. makes you feel like a mad scientist and fills you with a sense of accomplishment.
OK my tf100 should be delivered tomorrow (finally lol), the pool water looks amazing!!!!!! Out of 10 I give it a solid 9 and I haven't been able to get an accurate Chem test yet. Thank u everybody for the words of wisdom and encouragement but I'm afraid I'm not done yet lol, I'm sure I'll have some questions when my bill nye the science guy kit arrives ha. Ty again in advance

I have a link for that! LOL
Pool School - Lower Total Alkalinity
I am also posting a link for FC/CYA. Your FC is just above your min. for a CYA of 40. Make sure to shoot for the max or just above so during the day it does not go below the min.

Great job on the water looking great!
