Starting to Plan for new Pool Testing

[santacruzpool]

We are getting closer and closer on our pool build - so I am getting ready to purchase a test kit.

I already have a PH meter I use for occasional Beer & Wine Making - it is a Checker 1 Economical pH Tester.

Could I use this tester as my PH meter as needed - and get something like the TF-50 test kit???

Seems like a good option. I even have the calibration buffers.

The TF-50 also would be lacking the OTO chlorine test which can be useful and does not have as much of some of the reagents you use most often.

My gut tells me no. Order a TF100test kit. That will give you what you need for a couple of years normal use.

The only other real option for a test kit is a Taylor K-2006. Be careful comparing prices because the K-2006 comes in sizes, designated by a letter. The basic K-2006 has .75oz bottles. Yo need to get the K-2006-C to get the larger bottles that you want. Even then it is a little short on the reagent & powder for the FAS/DPD test.

I also have the SpeedStir and Sample Sizer. They speed testing and accuracy.

Alright - sounds good. Thanks for the info
