Always on the look out for cost containment, I decided to try a vendor that was mentioned by chem geek some months ago, being especially attracted to what seemed like a loss-leader price for the Taylor K-2006 test kit. The company’s prices for 2 ounce reagents are lower than most other company’s prices for the 3/4 ounce size. Amatoind is a small company and they don’t feature the entire Taylor line on their web site (but as a distributor, they can probably get it) and it appears they’re trying to expand the pool/spa segment of their business. I completed an order with them recently and was happy with the personal service, delivery and product. Shipping rates are typical: 15-20%. If you have reason to buy larger reagent sizes or just want a terrific deal on a Taylor test kit, I recommend them. Amatoind.com
