What Water Tester

[Phil.c]

What is recommended to be a good water test kit, sold in the UK please?

[Denniswiseman]

Teapot should be able to recommend one when he checks in
I had my Taylor K2006c imported from the States

[Phil.c]

PM'd him twice with no reply?

[Denniswiseman]

He might be in France, I don't know what the internet is like in his area, so he may not be in contact
I notice he hasn't contributed since Sunday
Give him a while

[Phil.c]

I notice your kit on eBay, from the USA and with prices from £54 to £164, something wrong there

[Denniswiseman]

There are two
K2006 which has smaller bottles of reagents
K2006C which has larger bottles of reagents
The shipping, VAT and import duty adds up
I can't remember where I purchased mine from but try Amazon as sometimes there shipping is less and they pre pay the duty saving you the extra cost of going through a handler

[Phil.c]

I read that the chemicals have from 12 to 18 months shelf life?

[Denniswiseman]

Depending how you keep them (cool dark place) but they are in a box

[Phil.c]

Cheapest on Amazon £94 + £33 postage + £127 + import/vat + £160

[Denniswiseman]

If you can get an individual to send it over as a gift you can save the import and VAT

[Phil.c]

Surely there are testing kits as good sold in the UK as there's a lot more pools here these days?

[Denniswiseman]

I don't know that's why I said to wait for Teapot

[Phil.c]

He has LaMotte Color Q Pro 7 which is supposed to be the best so I'm waiting.

Looking on Ebay and Amazon it seems that they are about the same price as K2006C and they only do chlorine up to 10 and most are coming from the states
Wait and see what Teapot has
