Benchmarking a possibly-expired test kit

[Whetstone613]

Ugh. That kit has a history of short longevity; it will last two seasons if you stored it inside in a dark area over the winter. That's said with no guarantees.

Well, I did have it in the garage during the winter, which didn't see a lot of light (and in its case). So are you saying it's probably still working and my chlorine is as low as it says?

It is also missing several key tests: the FAS-DPD test for FC/CC and the CYA test.

I think my kit tests for FC/CC and how important is the CYA test above that of the pH test?

I suggest the 2006C, but it is hard to get in Canada. Some people have friends in the states who will buy it and then ship it north.... Right now it is on Amazon for $55-60 usd in the USA. Check your Canada Amazon.

Since I'm trying to save 50CAD by avoiding buying a new K-1004, that's not on the table right now, unless it lasts 10 years or something.
