IN CANADA: Where to buy Taylor Test Kit???

[aylad]

I'm glad you got that part worked out--and you'll see that the kit, though expensive, is absolutely worth it. You'll save the money you spent on it tens of times, just this summer by not having to buy a bunch of stuff to fix your water. Proactive, rather than reactive, is definitely the way to make keeping your pool easy and pain-free.

Run a set of tests with your new kit, and let's see what you've got!!

Hello,

Thank you aylad.. I am sure it will be worth it. I have to figure out this test kit though. I will start a new thread when I post my numbers here shortly. For the chlorine test, should I use the 10ml or 25ml sample? Also, should I be testing for CYA at this time? Pool is not filled yet.

I honestly do not know what I would do without you guys! No pool and BAKE in the heat

PS. Thanks to everyone for your patience with newbies...

Carrie, if you test with the 10ml sample, you'll use less of your reagents. BUT, by doing so, you'll only be able to test at .5 ppm resolution (.2 is more precise than .5). That being said, .5 is fine IMHO.

PS, when you put the powder in, if it turns pink with one scoop that's all you need to use (save the other scoop for your next test)

Edit: CYA won't be present until you add it, so no need to test until then (read up on that as you don't want to test right away).

Dang shame about the Canadian monopoly. $143.50 for the 2006 with the 3/4 ounce bottles, not even the 2 ounce is an old time gouge. Nothing new, but crazy when the same kit is online in the US for $64, and the 2006 with 2 oz. bottles for $99 - and I didn't shop around much.

Hi Eh!

I just got 'hosed' by The Royal Life Saving Society Canada - Ontario Branch
(Link removed by mod)
They want $221.21 plus HST plus UPS? shipping comes to a grand total of $269.18

It is a beauty kit though. The booklet is interesting, if not intimidating. It's pretty easy to use too.

NOTE: the CYA tests are greedy. I figure there's 6 (maybe 8) shots at it them no more reagent. Be sure sure you're ready. I've already wasted 3 runs and I'm still below 30ppm...<sigh>
