I’m wanting to purchase a nice pool water tester. Is it possible to purchase one like what they use at the pool stores? One that works with a computer and I can print out step by step instructions?
 
We don't recommend them. They are not as accurate as the kits we recommend here: Link-->Test Kits Compared

This is the accuBlue from leslie's vs Taylor reagents (found in all the kits we recommend), and this is in a lab, with a competent operator and a calibrated machine.

Stick with the test kits we recommend.

Get the TFpro salt from tftestkits.net. its the hands down best value.

If you can read the bottle to grab the right one, and count drops, you can do the tests. They are stupid easy.

Then come tell us the #s, and we'll tell you what to do. You can print that out. Little by little it'll become second nature and you won't need us.
 
In the world of pool store testing, the tests are either:
1. Fancy and provide precise numbers, but not very accurate (especially when not regularly calibrated)
2. Drop based and very accurate

If you can invent something that checks all the boxes for #1, you would be very rich. Until then, we recommend the accurate drop based test kits.
