I have had my pool/hot tub water perfectly balanced since the day I started using this kit and never once thought about taking my water to the pool/spa store to "make sure" my readings were correct. I will never be going back to strips. Worth every penny.
Pros:
Comprehensive testing: The Taylor K2005 Test Kit covers a wide range of tests, including total and free chlorine, bromine, alkalinity, calcium hardness, base and acid demand, and pH DP. This ensures that you have all the information needed to maintain a healthy and balanced pool.
High accuracy: Taylor is known for its precise and reliable testing solutions, and this kit is no exception. The high range tests provide accurate results, allowing you to make informed decisions about your pool's water chemistry.
Professional-grade: This test kit is designed for professionals, ensuring that you have access to the best tools for the job. With the Taylor K2005, you can deliver the highest quality service to your clients and their pools.
Easy-to-follow instructions: The kit includes a detailed instruction booklet, making it simple for both beginners and experienced professionals to use and understand.
Cons:
Pricey for personal use: The Taylor K2005 Test Kit comes at a higher price point than many other test kits on the market. While this may be a drawback for personal pool owners, it's important to remember that this kit is designed for professional use and offers a high level of accuracy and comprehensiveness.
Replacement reagents: Over time, you'll need to replace the reagents in the test kit, which can be an additional expense to consider.
In conclusion, the Taylor K2005 High Range Swimming Pool Test Kit is an invaluable tool for any pool professional seeking accurate and comprehensive testing solutions. While the price may be steep for personal use, it's a worthy investment for professionals looking to provide the best possible service to their clients. With its extensive range of tests, high accuracy, professional-grade design, and easy-to-follow instructions, this test kit is a must-have for any serious pool maintenance expert.
It was like emailing a good friend for expert advice. Fast response, great tips!
Now, for the kit itself. I've read a lot of the other reviews. I'll ignore the guy who gave it one star because although he got the kit he ordered he decided later he should've ordered a different kit. I mean, if you ordered a blue shirt but decided you looked better in red, would you blame the shirt?!?
Now, for the rest - this is a GREAT kit. It is detailed and accurate. It is NOT "magic". It will not say "if your pool registers x just add y". It WILL tell you how much chlorine you've got and what your pH is and total alkalinity and so on, just as it says it does.
The little booklet is worth the price all by itself, if you've the patience to read it. It is NOT complicated, but neither is it "see Spot run". You'll need to be able to think in order to use it. But once you read it, you'll be able to keep your pool clean and blue and sanitized and perfect - or as close to perfect as they get!
As for the actual testing - there is a color-coded chart at the top. All you need to do is follow each step as it is written. The colours are easy to see and to distinguish and you'll know just what's in your pool and the book will tell you just what your pool needs and if that isn't enough, an email to Taylor will get you great, friendly, immediate, HELPFUL advice!
You can't go wrong with Taylor! I am now a customer for the life of my pool!
What's great about this kit is that it comes with everything you need to test all of the important chemical levels in your pool, including pH, chlorine, alkalinity, and more. The case that it comes in is also a nice touch, as it helps keep everything organized and in one place.
Overall, I highly recommend the Taylor Technologies K-2005 Compete Test Kit for anyone who wants to keep their pool clean and safe for swimming. It's easy to use, accurate, and comes with everything you need to keep your pool in top condition.
