A few months ago I purchased TF-100 test kit as recommended by TFP members. It comes with a T-1000 mini-kit for daily testing of TOTAL chlorine and pH. The laminated instruction sheet says this is the only test I need to perform daily. However all TFP chlorine recommendations are for FREE chlorine, a number that requires the full TF-100 kit to determine. I have written to Taylor asking if there is a conversion whereby I could determine my free chlorine (4 to 9) from my TOTAL chlorine (.5 to 5) levels. They told me that the T-1001 mini-kit was required for testing FREE chlorine.
My question is: Why doesn't the TF-100 kit come with the T-1001? If free chlorine is the "only" daily test I need take, it would make sense to include the T-1001 instead. No?
