Don't let that gizmo stop you from ordering a K-2006. The FAS-DPD titration test will give you accurate, repeatable (useful) readings. Maybe you could do a comparison and let us know how well it works.

OK. I did my tests last night and here are the results. YES i added 1 chlorine tab (Trichloro-s-triazinetrione), when i get home im gonna test again and remove the tab and add liquid, we have 500 gallon totes of the stuff here at work.

HACH: .8 TC, .9 FC, .1 CC.
TAYLOR: 1-2 Cl, .5-1 CC, 7.7 PH, 120 TA.
ULTRAMETER II: 7.49 PH.

Get the OTO, so you can have some reliable, if not super accurate, testing now. Later, the OTO will allow you to do very quick and easy testing (almost strip-like) in between K2006 full testing.

Oh. And don't over-test CYA: the K2006 is sort of short on CYA tests. This isn't a problem for experienced users, since they know CYA doesn't change rapidly or need to be tested every time. But new users sometimes blow through all the CYA tests in their first month, and have to buy refills.

How do my reading look Doc.

I think that if you want to compare your Taylor results to an accurate tester of another type, you would use the 25 ml sample. This will give you a CL(FL and CC) reading in 0.2 ppm increments. I don't' get your reported "1-2 CL, .5 - 1 CC.

At any rate, how your FC reading looks depends ENTIRELY on your CYA. Post that reading

The 1 - 2 Cl reading is based off the color chart in the Taylor test kits. The HACH spectrophotometer and the Ultrameter read down to .00 Also im not trying to be an ass, but read up on these testers then you will know more than you are commenting about. HACH D 2400 spectrophotometer and the Ultrameter II

As for the CYA I dont have a kit that reads that yet. Hope to make it to the store in the next few days to get one.


Taylor reads:
.5 - 1
1 - 2
ect.....
