Which test kit??

IrishEyesSmiling · Mar 31, 2017

Not sure which test kit to get. I know I'll want a speed-stir but what else? Contractor said he might start our install and deck build next week :whoot:

I plan to use the TFP method.

My notes...
Taylor K-1766 is the best kit to measure for salt levels
TF-100 $70 also tests for CH and CYA and will last for 2 years
Taylor K-2006
Don’t need CH for vinyl pool

Guess I should of said I plan to get the TF-100, Speedstir, and Taylor K-1766. I'm questioning whether I need the Borates and AquaCheck Salt tests.

K-1766, TF100, and a speed stir and don't look back.

Borates--not unless you decide to add them. No strips.

What the heck is a speed stir and why do I want/need one?

You want one cuz it's really cool and you feel like a mad scientist. It's basically a magnetic pill at the bottom of your tester that spins with the battery powered rotating magnet.

Your best deal by far is a Bundle Package at TFTestkits. Thr TF100 is the best value for the dollar.

Using the Speed Stir, my FC test consistently clocks in half a point lower than by swizzling the tube. Easier to concentrate on counting drops on tests requiring more and for a SLAM.
