Sister-in-law is finally buying a pool, when it comes to testing what alternitives does she have besides going to the pool store?
What if your colorblind

Which grade of colorblind is she? By the way, it's very odd for a female to be colorblind.
I'm red/green colorblind and have no problems with the tests in the TF-100. The only one that gives me problems is the pH test and it's not so bad that I can't figure it out.

There are many different kinds of color blindness. Several of them can still read the PH test results. If not, the ColorQ, as woodyp suggested, is a reasonable alternative despite it's quirks.
Don't know what kind, was told she had eye problems since she was young. I will forward the link of the kit shown .Thanks

I too am red color blind and can usually test everything with confidence besides pH which takes a bit of concentration and sometimes another opinion. I find testing at sunset works the best as the sky is a neutral blue and no shadows are cast.
The ColorQ is generally good, but it is quirky. None of the tests work when FC is above 10. Very high CH levels can throw the readings off. The CH and CYA tests have less precision than you really want. Some people also have problems with doing the CYA test correctly and get incorrect results. If you understand the issues it is very usable, but the TF100 and K-2006 are definitely better for most people.
Even being colorblind I'd recommend the TF-100 or K-2006 kits. As I said, the biggest problem I have is the pH test and it just takes a little staring and comparing.
The biggest issue I've had all my life is convincing non-colorblind people that I'm colorblind, not blind. I see colors, they just don't look the same to me as they do to you. Comparing colors is a lot easier than trying to tell someone what a color is.
Even if she has a problem with the pH test she can get a cheap ph meter to do that for her.

$23 for a ph stick meter sounds like a time saver to me. Anyone use one and how do they match up with kit #'s
I have a Hanna pH meter and I used it a good bit when I first got it but it requires frequent calibration and now I just use the pH test in the K-1000 kit with my TF-100. It's easier than the meter.
