My TF-pro salt arrived yesterday, and I have some questions. I have 2 testing agents, silver nitrate and chromate, that are not used in any tests, and I have no directions for a borate or salt test. Am I missing directions? Does this kit not test borates or salt? Do I need a supplemental test kit?

I don’t know why the instructions are not included.
Taylor K-1766 Salt Test Kit instructions
Salt Water Test Instructions PROCEDURE: CAREFULLY READ AND FOLLOW PRECAUTIONS ON REAGENT LABELS. KEEP REAGENTS AWAY FROM CHILDREN. For 1 drop = 200 ppm Sodium Chloride.
1. Rinse and fill the plain graduated cylinder to 10 mL mark with water to be tested.
2. Add 1 drop R-0630 Chromate Indicator. Swirl to mix. Sample should turn yellow.
3. Add R-0718 Silver Nitrate Reagent dropwise, swirling and counting after each drop, until color changes from yellow to a milky salmon (brick) red. Always hold bottle in vertical position.
NOTE: Do not add enough R-0718 Silver Nitrate Reagent to give a brown color. First change from yellow to a milky salmon (brick) red is the endpoint.
4. Multiply drops of R-0718 Silver Nitrate Reagent by 200. Record as parts per million (ppm) salt as sodium chloride (salt water).

The instructions I believe are now QR codes with links.
There is no borate test. The majority of pool owners have no need for borates in their pool water.
