Mustard Algae - Just the Basics

You can also get the FAS-DPD kit at the pool store or at other places online--the TF kit is not the only one that will do the trick..

The Taylor K-1515-A is such a FAS-DPD kit, but I haven't seen it in stores. The tftestkits.com FAS-DPD chlorine kit (that is, only the chlorine kit, not the full kit) is about the same price yet has 36% more volume of reagents.

For a full test kit that also includes the FAS-DPD chlorine test for Free Chlorine (FC) and Combined Chlorine, and also tests pH, Total Alkalinity (TA), Calcium Hardness (CH) and Cyanuric Acid (CYA), there is the Taylor K-2006 kit at a good online price, though the TF100 has 36% more volume of reagents so is slightly lower priced "per test" (kit contents are described here). If you can find the Taylor K-2006 kit locally, then you'd save on shipping, though usually you can only find the K-2005 which has a standard DPD chlorine test, not the K-2006 with FAS-DPD.
