If you store in a cool dry place out of light, they last 2-3 years.
The 2006 reagents are smaller bottles. The 2006C are larger bottles of reagent. I don't know how much you might use in a year.

I use a pair women’s knee high nylons (queen size, one inside the other for extra strength). I can fit about 6 pounds in it.
Yea, the kit can be spendy but itll save you money in the long run. As a pool owner its one of those almost mandatory expenses or you can hire a service to manage it and fire them when they screw it up. The brown water is an indication something is wrong.
The refills are cheaper when you need them. It still may suck importing them to Canada but it'll suck 60% less. 
The initial kit comes with vials and test block/tube that you don't need to replace, but is over half the cost.

Hey everyone, I don’t know what that splash of brown water was but I think perhaps it was dirt? It stopped coming out from the jet where the SWCG releases the chlorine. Sorry, I am a noob here. What happened is that I was vacuuming and at some point the jet started to expel some brown material. I don’t know what it was but it stopped after 1 min. My water is fine in all levels now. At least per the test strips for now.
One question, for well water, do I need to add the metal Sequestrant every time I add new water? Do we need to add that before adding the water or after ?

That makes more sense for the quantity I needed. Thanks so muchI use a pair women’s knee high nylons (queen size, one inside the other for extra strength). I can fit about 6 pounds in it.
I’ll be ordering in the next weeks, I’ve just spent a lot of money this year on my new home and I need to wait a bit.The refills are cheaper when you need them. It still may suck importing them to Canada but it'll suck 60% less.

I use a mesh bag for my CYA that I typically use for steeping grains when brewing. They are a few cents each.

I understand, but the pool is literally worth 10's of thousands of dollars. A pool service for a single month will equal the cost for the test kit. Once you have the test kit, you're good for a while, and will be saving that money every month going forward.
Do you have a link to something like that? Some mesh bags have big holes, I imagine I need something with small holes.
I moved and then built a pool. I get it. Believe me I do.
Swamps cost far more, and staying out of the pool store will pay for the kit several times over. I have a big pool and they had $125 of stuff I didn't need, or could buy elsewhere dirt cheap, weekly.
Baking soda for example, is 50 cents a pound anywhere, but several dollars a pound in a fancy pool store bag that says TA up.

I buy mine 100 at a time from a brewing store. Here is a link to a 10 pack on Amazon: Amazon.com
I reuse a bag 10-15 times before it starts to develop tears and holes, then throw it out and use a new one.

I am slowly realizing that. It’s been a week I have this pool, perhaps almost a week and a half. For sure I’ll make mistakes buy the most expensive and unnecessary stuff.. but I am learning I am here and next year will surely be super easy. Yes, I bought some baking soda I know it helps for alkalinity .I moved and then built a pool. I get it. Believe me I do.
