Can you buy a good test kit locally?

I would like to get my Dad the K-2006 or something comparable to that for Fathers Day... yes I should have thought of it earlier :)

Can you buy kits like this in the store somewhere?? We have Leslies, Litehouse, Great Escape and a few local pool places around. Do any of these sell tests that are equal that you guys know of?

thanks!

No. The one you want is the Taylor K-2006 or 2006C which is only available online. Maybe order it for him and then cut out a picture of it and put it in a card to give him on Sunday so he'll know what it is that will be heading his way? It is worth waiting for. Better to do that than to pick up another lesser kit at a local place.

What watermom said! IF you have a poolstore that caters to the trade but still sells to the public there is a very small chance that they might have the kit but you don't know how long it might have been sitting on the shelf or in a warehouse. I once special ordererd one for a customer from one of our local disributors and when it came the DPD powder was a solid black lump in the jar.) The major online retailers have a faster turnover. Put in a picture of the kit in the card and a link to the videos of how to use it (http://www.taylortechnologies.com/products_choose_slideshow.asp) from the Taylor website to keep him busy util the kit arrives!:cool:
