I am building an indoor vinyl pool 16x32. Unfortunately here in Canada the Taylor tests are very expensive. 2006 is $175 and the 2006c is $315 but I can get the FAS dpd test only for $75.
Is there any good reason that I can't get away with just buying the FAS dpd test from Taylor and some Walmart test strips for the rest.
My understanding is that of the five items that commonly need to be tested calcium hardness is not an issue for a vinyl pool and total alkalinity and pH are less critical and easily tested with any cheap test strip or kit and cya at indoor levels can't really be tested anyway and therefore I intend to do the math and only add the stabilizer needed. So that leaves me with chlorine. Am I missing something? Thank you.
