Review: MUST HAVE if you have a chlorine pool - This test kit is FANTASTIC and way better than any other test kit we have tried. The different colors for each chemical are very clear and easy to tell the difference between each level. It is great quality, and we even bought it a second time when we ran out of the test chemicals. It works very quickly and is super accurate when we have tested it with pool stores. It has really helped us to get our chlorine levels, ph levels, and overall water quality back on track (especially after a hurricane). 10/10 would definitely recommend! I want to add that we tried a smaller, cheaper kit, but we hated it and ending up wasting our money and going back to buy this one. Just buy it!
Review: Easy to use! - I'm ramping myself up into caring for my own pool so I purchased this kit. Love that the kit comes with instructions on how to do it all and how to measure things. The insert in the kit tells you how to interpret the results of your pool chemistry along with causes and recommended ranges for the numbers. Measuring the chemistry is super simple, the included steps guide you right through the process, the included tools are easy to read as well. I've been testing after my pool guy comes to match up the results and I'm always seeing the same results that he has which tells me that this kit is spot on. My pool continues to look good and will continue to look super clear and clean even after my pool guy is no longer needed.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What's the difference between k1003 and k1004?**
A: Both very similar.  K-1003 is an OTO drop test that uses a yellow comparator to measure chlorine level.  OTO drops are used to see if chlorine is present and match the shade of yellow to know how much chlorine is in the water.  K-1004 is a DPD drop test that uses a pink comparator to measure chlorine level.  DPD drops are used to see if chlorine is present and match the shade of pink to know how much chlorine is in the water.  Some people can see yellow better than the pink or vice versa.  Both also measure Total Alkalinity and pH levels the same way, no difference there.  There is also a FAS-DPD test with uses a powder that turns pink in the presence of chlorine and you test by adding drops until it turns clear.  OTO and DPD drop tests measure Total Chlorine and Combined Chlorine (you have to do math to get Free Chlorine) and they have limits to how high it will accurately read total chlorine.  These are typically used for a swim/no swim quick measurement.  Anything above 5 ppm there is no distinction in color and therefore is the max in those tests. FAS-DPD measures well above that to a max of 50 ppm and measures Free Chlorine and Combined Chlorine (most accurate measurements with FAS-DPD).

**Q: I purchased the K2005 and am having trouble following the directions. Is this one easier to use?**
A: I have found this kit easy to use since it has clear instructions on the testing and results therein. The K2005 is made by the same company, so it should be a great product, just more tests and better results. I use mine in an in ground spa and have had great results though years of use.

**Q: Does this test kit work for salt pools?**
A: Yes, this works for salt pools, since salt pools simply have a salt cell chlorine generator, and the same testing is required as for regular Pools using chlorine tablets.  This is the exact same pool testing kit sold at Leslie‘s pool stores, yet at much lower price.

**Q: Is this kit supposed to include r003 and r007? bevause mine came with extra r01 and r02 instead.**
A: Your kit should have R0003 for measuring total chlorine, and R0007 as the first reagent for total alkalinity. There should be 3 bottles with yellow caps -  R0001,0002 & 0003. Two with red caps R0014 & 0015. Three with green caps  - R0007, 0008 & 0009.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A great starter kit
*by E***C on July 13, 2025*

I have a small above ground pool. I bought this kit after struggling with my pools chemistry due to using the horrid test strips. My pool was so off balance when I initially tested with this kit. It took me a day to get it properly balanced thanks to this kit. This is easy to use. Dunk it in low, level the sample off with the line, add your drops according to the test you're doing, invert it and hold it up to a light source to read. I will definitely upgrade next season to one that tests my CYA level. The instructions are easy follow and understand.
