New to pools - test kit

[farleyville]

I'm about to start my new pool build. It will be a wet Edge Pebble pool with a swcg. Do I just need the TF 100 kit or do I need the pro salt bundle I don't understand the differences?

F,

Anyone that has a saltwater pool needs the ability to accurately measure the salt level in the pool water.

You can buy the TF-100 plus the Taylor K-1766 salt test kit, or buy the new Pro salt bundle which is the TF-100, plus the salt test reagents, plus the new smart-stir..

I find the smart-stir works better than the original speed-stir and I love the new foam lined "Pro" case..

So I went to the TF-Test kit site and now I am as confused as your are...

Let's see what @OTPirate has to say... Does the new Pro salt come with salt reagents or salt test strips???? What do you have to order to get the new Pro kit, smart-stir and the reagent salt tests???

Thanks,

Jim R.

The Pro Salt kit has the full TF100, the SmartStir, and the reagents for the salt test. In a brand new kit design.

It saves time looking for individual items and gets the new customers with SWCG all they need for a good start.

Oh.. man.. there is not an announcement about this?! You can order just the case too if you would prefer the form factor of this case.

It‘s currently in a soft release.

My 10k gallon pool was finished and I need a test kit as well. Do I need to manually test the salt levels if my iChlor30 reports the salt levels? Also, I've been looking at the Sutro robot. I'm guessing that even if I go with one, I should still have a decent manual test kit as well?

Yes you need a salt test kit and you need a proper full test kit. I would suggest the TF100 with K1766 and Smartstir or, for the complete set, the TFPro Salt.
