Water Test Kit

[Bigralphy]

What is a good test kit for a spa?  I am new to hot tubs and would prefer not to use strips. I was thinking of the Taylor 2006 kit but that might be over kill
Any information is appreciated

Taylor is a great kit. Unfortunately, the average person does not use it as frequently as they would strips. Also, keep the reagents from freezing and be faithful to testing even if you think it is ok.

I really don’t think a Taylor test kit is “over kill”. I use mine all the time and it gives me a lot more confidence in the true condition of my water than test strips would do. In my opinion, getting a Taylor test kit is a wise investment.
