Hi Don;

The place to start, is to stop worrying about it till you're sure you need to do so. Odds are you don't, but we won't know till you have a test kit. The only kit that may be available locally that's accurate enough, and tests the right things, is the HTH 6-way drops kit, available at some Walmarts. But, while you're there checking for that kit, you should get several gallons of PLAIN 6% household bleach, at least 1 box of borax, and -- if they don't have an HTH kit -- a cheap OTO (yellow drops kit) kit (NO 'guess-strips'!)

Actually, in Phoenix, the water is pretty messed up, but not necessarily high in calcium hardness. It will probably only be an issue if you get an Intex SWCG (salt) system.

If you cannot get the HTH kit, you WILL need the K-2006. Actually, you'll need it eventually in any case, but without the HTH kit, you need it right away. Check the test kit info page in my signature for more info.
