TAY-K-2006C-SALT

Taylor Complete Test Kit for Chlorine, pH, Alkalinity, Hardness, CYA, Salt (FAS-DPD–high range) (2 oz bottles)

The 2000 Series™ was designed to permit users to build up their test kits in a stepwise fashion as their testing needs grow without having to purchase duplicate components. Thanks to this upgrade system, a buyer can begin with the fundamentals in the Starter kit and build his way to a comprehensive testing tool called, appropriately enough, the Complete kit.

Options in the 2000 Series include high- or low-range sanitizer values, .75 oz. or 2 oz. reagent bottles, and kits in Spanish. All cases feature a piano-style interlocking hinge and a handle for easy transport.

The heart of any test kit is the comparator block, used for obtaining the water sample, mixing the reagents, and matching colors. Ours are the finest available. Advantages include raised fill marks to help ensure proper test volumes; frosted backing for uniform color perception; and dilution guides that make dealing with high concentrations a breeze. In 2012 we improved the visibility of the CYA test scale by adding a flange, and we resized the large comparator tube to work with our optional sample-sizing tools #6190 and #6191.

Several of the kits in this series feature FAS-DPD drop tests, which can measure free and combined chlorine directly as low as 0.2 ppm. The reading is made by noting a distinct change from vibrant pink to colorless in the reacted water sample. This method is also beneficial when testing samples with a high level of sanitizer (>3–20 ppm chlorine) because there is no need to interpret close shades of pink. The method is a boon for colorblind users too.

All kits include a copy of Pool & Spa Water Chemistry: A Testing & Treatment Guide. Written by experts in water chemistry, this waterproof booklet contains information about sanitation and water balance, as well as tables for water treatment.
