TF100 test kit price

[kitno]

I've been reading through the forums some and keep seeing people say that the TF100 test kit is $70, but when I go to their website I only see two options - one for $160 and one for $140. I just want to make sure I'm getting the right thing. I don't have a salt pool so I need the $140 one, right? Is there somewhere cheaper or has the price gone up recently?

Odd. It looks like the TF 100 is no longer available; just the TF Pro (Salt and Non Salt options).

The base TF-100 when available was $77. Add a fancy case ($25ish) and the smart stir ($30 ish) and it’s the TF-100 PRO. The PRO salt kit adds the salt test ($27), obviously.

it’s up to you if you want to splurge for the case of both non salt versions are available.

either way, the smart stir is the best $30 you can spend on your pool. Seriously, skip chlorine for a week to pay for it if you have to. Then the smart stir will make quick work of your SLAM and be free going forward.

*edit. Don’t actually do that. The SLaM chlorine will erase any savings. But you get the point. Lol.

My understanding is that there has been problems sourcing the little jars for the dpd powder. Shocker, right? So the only made up kits may be the Pro version atm.

Thanks guys, I went ahead and ordered the tf-pro. @Newdude don't worry I've learned my lesson about skimping on chlorine! We let it get too low and are (hopefully) on the tail end of fighting an algae bloom. Figured I'm tired of running to get it tested every day so I need my own test kit.

Great job ordering the test kit.. Don't be too surprised when it is completely different than the pool store
