Should I get a sequestering test kit? Any one you recommend?
Same question on iron test kits, rather pay $20 then step in a pool store

Testing for Sequestrant Levels
LaMotte sells a Sequestrant Test Kit (Part No. 4064-01) for less than half the cost of the test kit sold by Jack's ($36-$40 vs. $98). I confirmed that the LaMotte test measures HEDP. The two kits appear very similar.
Some phosphate test kits test for both organophosphate and orthophosphate, and if you are using an organophosphate metal sequestrant this can yield crazy-high readings that don't drop even with a phosphate treatment.
The LaMotte phosphate test kit only tests for orthophosphates.
