k2006 test kit

[fhorta]

so i'm looking to order this kit as recommended. how high clorine levels will this kit test? i'm hoping it will go higher than 5?

[Watermom]

WAY higher than 5. In fact somewhere around 50 I think.

[fhorta]

oh, ok. just asking because as i was browsing some web sites to order, the specifics of the kit, said measures from 0.5 to 5 cl.

i looked in the amazon link, but as a moderator recommended to not order if not from amato industries as seller. the seller is general stores, i think. so who can i order from that will be reliable?

below is the description of the kit as stated on a google search. says it tests .5 to 5.0 ppm chlorine??

I'd buy the K-2006C from the Amazon link which is sold by Amato Industries. It is the same kit as the 2006 but has larger quantities of some of the most often used reagents. The kit will test way higher than 5.

The kit you describe here is the K2005 not the K2006 recommended here. The difference is that the 2005 uses DPD which only measures up to 5 whiole the 2006 uses FAS DPD and can measure to ~ 50 ppm. (the FAS DPD is also a LOT easier to read)

If Amato Industries is out of them, you can also get the K2006 at this link https://shop.spspools-spas.com/Taylor-Test-Kits-and-Reagents/.

Price is $55.00 + shipping, which isn't bad....
This is where I buy most of my replacement reagents, and I've found their prices to be competitive and have never had any trouble with them.

Kind of a stupid question, but do the 2 oz bottles fit into the standard K2006 box?

[PoolDoc]

nope.

Didn't think so. That would have made life easy. Thanks!
