I currently have a PoolMaster 5 way coming in the mail, and some Aquachek 7 test strips. I know I know, test strips aren't accurate and all that. They were cheap and I figured they would help see if my results were accurate with my PM 5 way. But now that I will be doing a slam on my pool, I've heard that I will need something to check higher levels of chlorine. The TF-100 and Taylor 2006 have FAS-DPD tests, but they are quite pricey, 60-70 dollars.
So I was wondering if either I could survive with the ball park answers my strips give me (it says it gives TC readings up to 10, and FC readings up to 20) or will I have to purchase something better? Also, is there a way to order just the better chlorine test instead of buying a whole new kit? I'm sure that would make it cheaper.
