Why are Taylor test kits preferred?

I'm not Janet but ............ the kit we recommend is the Taylor K-2006 or 2006C which has larger bottles of the reagents. If you get it through the link in my signature line below (or Ben's or Janet's), then the Pool Forum makes a little money on the sale which helps keep us online. (Only order if the seller listed is Amato Industries. Some other sellers sometimes substitute the K-2005 which you do not want.)

Hope you enjoy being a part of our forum!

I second Watermom's advice. The kit I use is one that is no longer available from this site, but is essentially the same as the K-2006, and uses the same Taylor reagents. The best thing about the K-2006 kit is the ability to accurately measure high levels of chlorine, which is a requirement to either run a high- CYA pool or to clear up an algae bloom. That's why you don't want the K-2005-- it does not have that ability.)
