Taylor K1001 Basic Residential DPD Pool or Spa Test Kit

Every pool owner, no matter what style, should use a test kit like this. Especially if you care about the water you, your family, and your friends swim in. An excellent basic kit to check the chlorine and ph which are critical. You can use this kit to keep tabs on your pool service too. A pool owner must have.

Works great for testing my apartment swimming pool. Easy to use and quick.

Quick delivery and it works as expected

Overall, I got this to supplement my Taylor k2006 kit, since I test ph and chlorine so often, and figured a liquid dpd would be nice as it doesn’t dissolve in powder form all that easily if the water is cold. The test is accurate and works as it should, and is a great value for purchase. But, the actually testing container is shaped very odd, unlike a normal cylinder the other test kit uses, this has a narrow tube the flares at the top, and it’s a little more annoying to pour out excess water accurately to get the exact amount; it like clings like it’s vacuum held into there until you break the tension and then too much tries to pour out. So not even to not recommend, but hope Taylor rethinks this design.

I was very happy with both the delivery and product. I have used it for years. I mistakenly left a negative review intended for a different product and suppier.

This is the second time I've purchased this item. The seller is fast at getting it shipped. The test kit is great quality. I'll continue to buy this item from the same seller.

My old Taylor Kit was in great condition but the 3 replacement regents are around $10 each for $30 total. It is cheaper to buy a whole new kit. Had to wait a few days but it arrived in time to check the water for the weekend. Yes, my chlorine was high and pH was low. Gotta love an accurate test kit. Very happy with this purchase.

For years I had been using a more complicated method for checking the chemical levels of our spa and small pool. The Taylor basic kit is all I need. There are only three chemicals, not four or five that leads to waste. You simply fill up both sides of the kit to the same level and add the drops. I am now getting more accurate readings and the water quality reflects it. Make sure to store the kit indoors at room temperature, and carefully follow the directions when testing your pool or spa.

I need the chemicals for my hot tub and I really like it. It is expensive at other stores and I’m glad that Amazon had it so I ordered two and it is truly a great product for pools and hot tubs.

Came in a timely manner.

Good basic test set.

Color shades not distinguishable.

Be careful ordering. The test kit I received expires in two months- there is no way this product could be used before expiring. When I contacted the seller, they said it’s a manufacturer issue and there is nothing they can do.
