It seems the TF-100 kit has different tests, chlorine, calcium, alkalinity and CYA but no PH test?
TF-100 test for PH?

Yes the Blue kit does, but is there a more accurate PH test? The blue kit is only so so reliable correct?
I got the deluxe or whatever kit that came with a digital pH meter, which is nice because it can test Cl even when it's above the range of the drop test.

The pH side of the K-1000 kit (that comes with the TF-100) is reliable for reading pH. The CL (OTO) side will indicate the presence of chlorine, only reads up to CL of 5 and is not as accurate as the TF-100 FAS-DPD - which will read up to 50 ppm in either 0.5 or 0.2 increments (based on sample size).
The phenol red test for pH found in the TF-100 is pretty accurate and reliable and is, by far, the widely used standard.
