looking to purchase a test kit today and wanted to see if anybody had any input on which I should purchase and why.
Thanks!
Thanks!

I use the TF-100 because it is a better value. More tests you need and less you don't. More here, Pool School - Test Kits Compared. I buy mine at TFTestkits.net. they're almost next door to you so you'll get it fast. And only 70 bucks is a bargain. 
And every spring they put a refill kit on sale for under 40 bucks.

Order a SpeedStir with your TF100 - you will not regret it - makes testing much easier.
Take care.

Get the sample sizer and an extra cylinder for it too, if you can swing it. Consistent & repeatable results. No measuring juet water in cylinder and sizer in same volume of water everytime.

If get the SpeedStir you do not need the extra cylinder - it comes with it!
I have the speed stir in my shopping cart. Thanks guys, I really appreciate the feedback!
After having a Speed-Stir for two seasons I could not imagine being without it. The Sample Sizer is great as well, coupled with the Speed Stir, it keeps my test results very repeatable.

Wow! Pro tester!
I still do not have a speed stir! I like the pat the head rub the belly. Swirl and drop.

I'm with you on this! Lol. It's just another gadget for my kids to drop/ drown/ break/ loose... Plus I'd probably drop that stir bar down in the garbage disposal every other time removing any time saved... lol
Too late, but my vote is for the TF-100
I purchased a K-2006 last year and have been happy with it; however, if I were going to do it again I'd go with the TF-100 due to the 2oz R-0871 reagent (more than 2x that in the Taylor kit), the additional CYA reagent, and the OTO chlorine test if you're just looking to ballpark your levels to the nearest 1 ppm.
Better yet, become a TFP supporter and get a discount on the TF-100 from TFTestKits.net and it becomes an even greater value.
