I am tired of getting different results from Pinch a Penny and Lesley stores along with different recommendations and would like to purchase the best test kit for my 10,500 gallon pool in South Fla. Obviously between the sun and rain - weather plays a significant factor in maintaining proper levels even though we only use the pool in the summer. I have researched test kits and can not decide between these two options: (1) Taylor K2006c (so I have more reagents) plus Taylor-1766 (salt test) and Taylor 9265 stirrer or (2) TF-Pro Salt. Please advise as to which option and why. By the way is the stirrer in TF Prosalt the same as Taylor 9265?

I have a Hayward Swim Pure Plus SWG that indicates the salt level which has been consistent with the store readings so I was also wondering if I still need a kit to test the salt level.

Thanks for your help!
 
Welcome to TFP!!!

TF-PRO Salt. Hands down. More and better mix of what you will actually use. Great case.
As for stirrer, different brands, same thing. I have both for 5 years, they both still work the same.
Get the salt kit...when the cell goes bad you have no way to measure. You should always adjust your pool based on your test kit, including salt.
 
(1) Taylor K2006c (so I have more reagents)
That only has more calcium and TA tests, which are both very stable and can be tested monthly or maybe even bi-monthly.

The TFpro salt has about 50% more FC tests than the K2006C, and you'll be testing that daily.

The salt version of the TFPro includes the $30 salt kit for only $20 more.

AND it comes with the stirrer.

Like said above, hands down, it is the best value.
