What Type Of Test Kit Should I Buy?

[Lilsweetpea]

Hi,

We have a Doughboy 34' x 18' above ground pool with a Hayward 1 1/2 hp filter. We also use a frogger system. This is our first pool and it's our 5th season. For the last 4 years I have used test strips. After finding these forums and reading a few posts I see that test strips are un reliable. So... for someone who has nothing other than test strips what test kit/s should I invest in?

Should I be worried that my chemicals may not have been truely balanced all this time?

I would get the Taylor K 2006; seems to be highly recommended.

Thanks... does this test kit cover everything I'll need? Or do I need this test kit and something else?

Not sure about that. Check the Taylor website

The Taylor K-2006 is the best test kit.

Here is a page of interesting demo videos.

I just noticed that you have the frogger system. I have to recommend against anyone using the Frogger System.

Yes we do... what are the cons?
