Recommended kit?

I have a salt pool. 30,000 gallon in ground.
I think I’ve seen this question asked 1000 times a day but I know you guys recommend a particular kit. I’d like to test everything so I don’t have to go into the pool store specially during quarantine. I’d like to test more than the salt.
Thank you
 
Tigerpop - you want to get one of two kits, either a TFT-100 or a Taylor K-2006C. (The C is important as it indicates you get more than a little sampling of what you need.)

Between the two the TFT-100 is really a better deal for a home owner. The Taylor is more meant for someone who handles multiple pools and has a lot more of reagents you don't need and less of what you do, but it still has plenty. I got the Taylor K-2006C and some of the reagents are expiring - the TFT-100 is also from a smaller shop that uses the same Taylor chemicals and the reagents are typically fresher and last longer.

Do you have a salt kit? Neither come with one but I think you can get it as an addon for the TFT-100. The XL is a good option if your pool is green and you need to clear it up because all the testing will burn through the FAS-DPD chlorine tests you get with it.

The Speedstir is recommended as well, though I didn't get one yet. It helps with the "swirling" you do when you do the tests.
