Taylor K-2005 vs. K-2006

[myLABSpool]

Thanks to all for providing such quick and informative feedback. Based on what I've read, I'll stick with the k-2005, however I'd like to pickup a FAS-DPD only test for when I'm shocking so I don't have to dilute. Where can I get the FAS-DPD (k-1515 or something similar) test kit? I don't see anything online at Leslies other than a full test kit for $70. Looking for the CL test only.

Thanks again.

This place has been a good source for me:

They have it for $40 or so...

Amato's price would seem to be one of the lowest for the K-1515C FAS-DPD Chlorine test (and probably is)... but I wish they'd correct the description for it because most of the components they list are for the smaller K-1515A! Also, the K-1515C, per Taylor, has (2) 2 oz bottles of R-0871-C. The stock numbers and descriptions listed obscure this.

$40.44

You can always order the refills. The 0870 powder is about $5. The 0871 reagent is about $8. Not sure what the 0003 costs.

A few years back I actually stumbled across the Leslies clone of the FAS-DPD/Monopersulfate kit (K-1518) on a close-out for $20! I grabbed it and see that Taylor sells it for $68! It seems to add only one chem over the K-1515.
