TaylorK-1004 DPD, 6-in-1 Pool Test Kit for for Free & Total Chlorine, Bromine, pH, Acid Demand, Total Alkalinity, 100+ Tests, Quick & Easy for Pools & Spas | Made in The USA

Great test kit. While i still use strips for quick checks of chemicals, this test kit is much more consistent and accurate. I use it mostly for PH/Alkalinity in a hot tub.

good test kit for the basics of keeping spa water balanced

I was accustom to using test strips for a hot tub, but the colors are often hard to define, and the measurements aren’t accurate. When I’m dealing with a hot tub that’s the ideal environment for micro-organisms to thrive, I want to make sure the water chemistry is spot on. That’s where this kit and the reagents come in handy to help dial everything in before and after chemical additions. Nobody likes hot tub folliculitis!

Very helpful for checking chemicals in our hot tub. I use this along with strips.

great little test kit for home pool.

I've always used the 2-way test kits for my pool, yet decided to switch to a more comprehensive test after some research. This one is great! I based my purchase upon other reviews and am not disappointed. There are so many other variables to pool chemical balancing besides just pH and chlorine levels. This kit is ready to use and the instruction sheet is informative. I wish the instruction paper was laminated though.

I have old testing kits that have faded over time and it was getting difficult to get good test readings. I had old testing chemicals so it was time to upgrade all. I rarely use the acid demand drops, but if my pH is too high, it’s there to use; that rarely happens. This kit doesn’t have a calcium hardness test but once I get that perfect in the beginning of the season, I won’t need it. So I just get a pool chemical company to give me my opening water test results and buy some opening chems fromthem. Same w the water stabilizer chemical.I generally like Taylor drops testing kits. I do use a strip but it doesn’t seem as accurate as the Taylor drops kit.

Number 1.. DONT use older kit ,the one with book. Aka diagnose and remedy book. With new kit. Volume of water and maybe chemical use to read are different?0004 ph to new 0014..Number 2. Wish Taylor had but a ..How to add book in new kit. Count drops ect and check book that isn't there. No you have to go and have pool supplies place to read and tell you what you need. And the reason buying this kit is why?
