Leslie's on-line sells a Taylor FAS-DPD kit and a "Chlorine FAS-DPD Service Test Kit" made by Taylor and essentially a 2006. The first is just the chlorine test kit.
FAS-DPD sounds like DPD but it's not the same and can easily test up to 50ppm of FC, tests for CC as well, and, can even test up to 100ppm.
The Taylor version of the FAS-DPD test kit uses 4 components:
1) a test vial that measures 10ml and 25ml of water
2) FAS-DPD powder--Taylor's code is: "R-0870 DPD Powder" (it's FAS-DPD--the name is confusing)
3) FC Reagent---Taylor: "R-0871 FAS-DPD Titrating Reagent Chlorine"
4) CC Reagent ---Taylor: "R-0003 DPD Reagent #3"(?)
You fill the tube to 10ml, dump in just enough powder to turn the water pink, then add R-0871 one drop at a time until it turns clear. Each drop indicates .5ppm of FC.
You then add five drops of R-0003 to the same water. If the water turns at all pink, you have CC. You then add R-0871 again, drop by drop till it clears. Each drop indicates .5ppm of CC.
You add FC and CC to get TC.
Best chlorine test available to home-owners. Ben's kit uses the same chemicals, but I don't know if the 234 uses all Taylor--the 233 did.
If all you need is the chlorine test, the on-line kit from Leslie's costs about a third of what their full test kit is.
But look for FAS-DPD.
