    Sadly, you were "Pool-Stored". It's happened to all of us, leaving us sadder, but wiser. The K2006, K2006c, and Leslies Chlorine FAS-DPD Service Test Kit are all great tools. All basically the same (the "C" has larger amounts of test chems, Leslies is a re-branded K2006).

    However, in their defense, they probably just read off the liturgy of recommendations provided by Biogard or someone else, without knowing, say, that calcium is USELESS in vinyl pools.

    Actually Carl, unless Taylor has rewritten the pool guide that comes with the K2006, it embeds a bunch of the pool industry bogus chemistry. It's one of the reasons I started the PS23x series of kits.
