Best test kit

[McElmore]

Hello fellow pool enthusiasts!
We have finished putting up our new pool and stumbled upon this amazing community while researching chemicals to add. Before I go crazy adding what is the best test kit for a smaller pool? It’s 12 foot by 2.75 deep. My math brings it to 1900ish gallons.
Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
Happy floating.

Welcome to the forum!

You may want to consider following Seasonal Pools

For you, probably a Taylor 2006 kit.

I was looking between that one and the K2005. Is there something I’m going to be missing with the 2005?

The K2006 has the FAS/DPD chlorine test which is more accurate.

From the article Marty linked in post #2.

... A good intermediate test kit is the HTH 6-way test available at your local MegaMart. "
But read that whole seasonal pools article.

With a 1900 gallon pool, it's usually easier to drain/refill if you get algae.
