Are these test kits any good for salt?

[TxFireAg]

Before I go out and buy one of the recommended home test kits (recommended by this forum), I wanted to check some kits that I found in my late Father's garage. He has a Leslie's 9-way test kit and Taylor K-2005 also from Leslie's. I don't know how complete this kits are (supplies) nor if they test everything I need to check chemicals in my mother's salt pool with a Core35 salt cell.

Thanks!

What pool test kit should I buy? Why not use test strips? Our recommended test kits will pay for themselves in no time!

I'd worry about age of reagents for any found kits.

Get a complete set of refills. You need a FAS DPD test too.

I wouldn't depend on the old reagents. The Leslies 9-way is not really worth saving. If you replenish the K-2005 with new reagents, you still need to purchase the FAS/DPD test (about $25 I think) to get all the tests you need.

I think I would just toss the old ones and get a new TF-100, K-2006c or the Cadillac TF-Pro. The Pro has a SmartStir that the others don't and it will make you feel like The Mad Scientist!
