tester "electronic or manual"

Hi
Just bought a house with a pool. Never had a pool before. took a sample water to the local pool people who put it in some computer machine and gave a print out showing in the image attached.

would the 4 in 1 test kit that I found with the pool sufficient or I need to buy some reliable electronic tester? I don't mind investing "up to $500" in a good tester to make my life easier but is it worth it for water testing?

Thanks

You really need to get yourself a decent FAS/DPD test kit (Taylor K2006c or TF Testkits TF100 in the states) to get accurate results as maintaining an appropiate SLAM shock level means testing quite often during the day
