I ordered the taylor complete (low 2105) test kit. I didn't realize it was not the one suggested taylor complete (High-2005)until after purchase. What's the difference? I still should be able to test with this one right?

I would suspect at a minimum you will need to purchase the FAS-DPD test for FC. Go to TFTestkits.net to purchase that. It is the powder/reagent test for FC.
Take care.

What you have is a GOOD test kit. The only thing it is missing is the ability to titrate the chlorine sample in order to count drops and get a more accurate read. All you would need to add is the K-1515 kit - Welcome to Taylor Technologies
The R-0001/R-0002 reagents still measure chlorine using DPD, but it is a color matching test and the comparator block that comes with it is the #9057 block which is only a low-range (FC up to 2.5ppm) test. You could then purchase a #9056 hi-range comparator block and be fine. See here - Welcome to Taylor Technologies
With all of that, you should have enough to "stuff" to get going. I would also suggest you get a SpeedStir - Welcome to Taylor Technologies as it makes testing A LOT easier.

Oh, and by the way, I use the R-0001/R-0002 FC testing reagents a lot for quick spot testing. It's a bit easier than breaking out all the vials, speed stirs and glassware needed to do the titration test (R-0870 powder + R-0871 titrant). For a quick check of chlorine levels, the R-0001/R-0002 is much easier to use.

Well the kit covers all the same tests as the 2005. Same as recommended That's y I got confused. I just didn't know what the difference was in low and high tests and there wasn't anything I could find about it.
Tests for:
Free & Total Chlorine - 0.25-2.5 ppm
Bromine - .5-5 ppm
pH - 6.8 - 8.2
Acid Demand / Base Demand
Calcium Hardness
Total Alkalinity
Cyanuric Acid

Ok awesome thanks. I thought it was the right kit but hey after adding in the other block I'm still only in 20 bucks. So not bad and I'm in a dinky pool at the moment. Making sure the kiddos wI'll use it before going to large again
2006 is recommended by TFP, not 2005. Taylor calls both kits "complete." That might be contributing to your confusion.
