I am new at trying to test the pool water. At 73 yrs old, can anyone recommend two or three testing kits.
Pls keep it simple for this Spring,Texan guy.

Taylor K2006C or better TF Test kits TF100 or best TFPro. These are all we recommend so that folks can easily do their own testing without ever setting foot in a pool store again. Please read through the Pool School and understand the Conditioner vs Chlorine (CYA/FC) relationship as well as other parameters such as PH. We welcome you and you're never too old to learn!

From what I read so far, I think that maybe I should STOP using the 3 Inch chlorine hockey pucks that I place into
The “small tower” ( it hold three hockey pucks” and has a Dial from 0 to 5 for releasing back into the return flow pipe.). Any thoughts on this ?

Test Kits Compared

 

[PoolStored]

Let's make it simple:

The best value on reagent sizes and includes a speed stir, which makes testing much easier and more accurate. Link--> TF-Pro

The next best is the TF100, again great value, but no speed stir or container. Link--> TF-100 Test Kit

Talyor also makes a good kit, the K-2006C. Link--> Amazon.com

If you have a saltwater chlorine generator, get the salt version (your signature says liquid chlorine)
