When your pool is about a week to getting a finish (plaster?) order that test kit. It arrives pretty fast from shipping out of NC.

I'd order the TF-100. The XL is handy for green pools that need to SLAM, but the plain TF-100 and a salt test kit (K-1766 kit) will be good for almost two years of use.

The Speed Stir device is an extra that just makes testing a LOT faster. You slip the test tube on the device, toss a magnetic bean in and turn it on and it does the spinning. Really good if you have arthritis in your hands. I bought a few extra beans only cause i tend to toss my testing samples in to the grass as I move from test to test and sometimes I can't find the bean! It also gives me a bean for each test vial. Just a convenience.

X2 on the Speedstir. I couldn't swirl the vials without spilling half the sample on my shorts. I used mine for the first time yesterday and it works great.

x3 on the Speedstir. It turns checking the pool chemistry into something fun.

CYA doesn't require frequent testing. Once a month during the swim season. The TF-100 has more than adequate.
