First just to clarify, this test does come with what you need to do chlorine tests - there are 2 different methods and this kit comes with the FAS-DPD two part method [mix in powder first then the reagent].I regularly use it to test chlorine and PH and have used all the other tests at least once. Easy and accurate.My only compliant is that the amount of reagent for the CYA test is low, you need a lot do that test. Consider getting a bigger bottle of that w/ this kit.

Probably a hair overkill for the laymen, but if you want to know you pool water chemistry with accuracy reserved for high school science lab, this is the kit. This kit has testing for 6 disciplines, two of which can be tested two ways, for a total of 8 tests. If you picked the 6 you need, it would be over a hour of testing. That's a lot to ask our family guys to do. With that being said, the four that make this kit for me are the free chlorine, salt, pH, and CYA. Hard to find more accurate results without going to the agricultural industry and digital meters (Apera). This is the 1 Oz. sample kit. They make a 2 Oz. kit. Don't get it unless you are going in to the aquatic water testing business. The reagents in this kit will "expire" before I can use them all. The 2 Oz kit would waste even more. The kit is so accurate, it defeats it's own purpose. With a chlorine generator set at 15%, our salt pool maintains a FC of 5.5. Pool chemistry 101 states to get your CYA (stabilizer) to 50-80, and your Free Chlorine should be maintained at 7.5% of your CYA. I haven't had to touch it. After 4-5 tests in a row with no changes, the kit will sit on the shelf, probably until next year, when the reagents "almost" expire. We use test strips to confirm everything semi-weekly. When we have has increased swimming activity, I will hit the boost on the chlorine generator. I set it to provide 12 hours of extra Chlorine to maintain the 5.5 PPM of FC. For those with chlorine generators, the set percentage is the amount of hours out of 24 it will run. 15% = 3.6 hours a day. The algorithm in the Hayward Aquarite splits up the day and spreads the 3.6 hours throughout the day. Multiple sunny days and swimmers needs 20% on the chlorine generator setting. That's 4.8 hours out of 24 it will run. Needs it. Sun kills free chlorine. So does sweat,sun tan lotion and the dreaded urine.You can't go wrong with this kit. I imagine if you are considering it, you are serious about your water health. This will allow anyone to dial in their pool, spa or any other body of water they care about. Taylor is the #1 maker of water testing kits. You can get lost and confused on their site. Use the search.

Rating: ââââ (4/5)This pool test kit does the job accurately and is easy to use, thanks to a detailed user manual. When our pool guy was sick, we followed the instructions, tested the water, and added the recommended chemicals. Everything turned out fine, so it’s definitely reliable.The downside is that it doesn’t come with enough of the testing chemicals. I can already tell we’ll need to refill soon, especially the reagent for testing cyanuric acid. Overall, it’s a solid product, but it would be better with a larger supply of the chemicals.

I read a lot of reviews about this product being too confusing. Well, it's basically a chemistry set. However, if you follow the directions, it is not hard whatsoever! I've ran the tests then had a sample taken and tested professionally and it is spot on. Also to the people saying there are a few tests that you only get enough chemical to perform a few tests.......there's a reason for that. Those tests are only meant to be performed usually at the opening and closing of your pool. I will use test strips to test weekly and if I see anything out of whack, I'll bust this baby out for a accurate reading and make my chemical adjustments based on those results. I feel like this is a must have for anyone who has a saltwater pool. Couldn't be happier with it!

I have learned that this is not a product you should buy on Amazon. 4 of the bottles were to expire in the month I purchased this kit. I contacted the seller to let them know. They offer me $20 discount. Each bottle was an average of $14 to replace so I opted to return it & bought the kit at Poolgeek. This test kit is awesome and has really helped me to understand the water chemistry better. Just don’t buy this kit on Amazon cause, shelf life is important to these kits, you should get a year of life or run out before the year and replace bottle.

I have been working with pools for 30+ years, and this test kit is the best I have found for the pool owner to maintain a "low" chlorine pool. It is accurate, uses good chemistry for the measurements and is easy to understand. Most of the tests use widely accepted chemistry procedures to obtain the results, which are indicated very definitively. There are a lot of steps, but then again pool chemistry is not that simple.

The price is a little steep, but the precision and quality of this test kit is worth it. Taylor is the best brand to use if you want good results. Having balanced water keeps chemical costs down which makes this kit a no-brainer.

Pool companies failed hard maintaining my salt water pool so I picked this up and learned how to do it myself. It’s very easy to use and super accurate. I now have a perfectly balanced pool thanks to this testing kit.
