    Default Taylor k2005 vs k2006 kit

    Since, I live in Canada and Ben does not ship his test kits to Canada, I have decided to get the next best thing which I have been told is the Taylor kits. Can someone tell me what the difference between the K2005 and K2006 kit is and which one I should get ? I think the k2006 kit does sanitizer tests through titrations. Is that better ? How do the other kits such as the k2005 do sanitizer tests ?

    Help, don't know which one to spend the money on.

    Thanks

    HI - I recently got the K2006 Taylor test kit online. I purchased it specfically because it uses titrations to test which I understand are more accurate than the OTO method. It eliminates the "color matching" thing which I always found subjective. One other difference is that it can test FC, CC, and TC from .5 up to I think 50 ppm, as opposed to the K2005 which only tests Chlorine from .5-5 ppm. This is key if you are operating your pool at higher chlorine levels based on your CYA. It would also come in handy when and if you ever have to shock the pool.

    Those are some of the basic differences, I think. Good luck.
