    If you already have a K-2005 kit, you don't need to buy the K-2006. Instead, you can pick up the K-1515 which is the part that the K-2005 is missing and then essentially you will have a K-2006 complete kit. That will save you some money. You can get it through the test kit link in either Ben's or my signatures.

    If you go that route, just make sure you still have enough R0013 to do several CYA tests this summer.

    Right. You can also just buy some more R0013 separately if you need to.

    just tryed to test my CYA in the sample bottle given in the test kit that i have and i followed the directions as stated on the kit, filled CYA dispensing bottle to 7 ml mark with pool water to be tested, then added R-0013 to the 14 ml. mark and mixed for 30 sec. im guessing the solution is supposed to turn cloudy if Cyanuric Acid is present? mine did no change at all but i continued the test anyway i filled the small comparator tube as directed but the little black dot at the bottom never disapeared and i filled to the top
    is this bad?

    i have plenty of the R-0013 looks like 2 -3 oz bottles i got this kit from a friend along with the 2 bottles of R-0013

    ill defnatly get the K-1515

    and the filter that came with the pump we used and threw out i bought a cple more filters from wal-mart that i rotate threw daily just rinsing them out with sprayer on my hose and they come perdy clean but ill go agead and get the ones you stated and use them

    i also tested my other levels today :

    PH 8.0
    FC 0
    TC 0
    CC 0
    TA 160

    No change = 0 ppm CYA.

    If you've got extra R-0013, the R-1515 will fix you up. But still get an OTO kit for fast and easy testing between careful tests.
