“Manufacturer” is too strong a word, “repackager” is more appropriate.
And this is why you can’t compare the TF-100 with a Taylor K-2006 on the basis of reagent size alone.
The K-2006 comes with a better comparator block, with Acid Demand and Base Demand tests, with a water balance calculator (the Watergram tm), a better carrying case (the new ones are awesome), better design that minimizes errors (color coded caps, instructions etc) and with a Water Testing and Treatment Guide.
And this is important, you also get Taylor quality end-to-end (consistent quality in the labeling, the labware, the droppers etc), traceable lot numbers on the individual reagents; it remains uncertain, for example, how the integrity of the reagents is assured with the TF-100, or how the repouring process is handled.
And I won’t get into the whole MSDS thing or the CoAs that Taylor can supply.
You’re buying a TF-100 to gain independence from the PS but you then you’re dependant on two web sites for advice. There’s no Internet in the pump room where I work.
They're not including stuff from a K-2006 because they deem they are not important to you, and then adding stuff not included in the K-2006 (OTO). Then they compare the two kits. Guess who wins. They should be comparing the TF-100 ($68) to an K-1005 ($19) supplemented by DPD-FAS reagents ($12). For $31 you get pH, acid demand, base demand, dpd chlorine (not OTO), dpd-fas chlorine, cya, calcium hardness, alkalinity, treatment tables, a booklet on basic chemistry, and Taylor quality end-to-end. That's where the comparaison point should be.
