Re: Which test kit?
The Taylor K-2006 has the same functionality as Ben's kit. Most of the tests are identical (except for the pH, which is just as good and the acid and base demands that Ben's kit doesn't have. IMHO, for good reason!) If you want to add the OTO total chlorine test and the same pH test as Ben's kit than you also need a Taylor K-1000. The OTO test is good for quick daily checks on your clorine level. If you need the salt option then Taylor has 2 kits that will fit the bill K-1766 and K-1771. Either one is funtionally equivalent to Ben's. As an alternative you could use the AquaChek White salt test strips. This is one of the test strips that actually works. It uses the same chemistry as the Taylor kit and I have found it to be reliable. I have checked it against the Taylor kit and against both a Goldline and a LaMotte salt meter many times and the strips were always right on the money.
