Test Kits & Water Testing

Every chemical decision starts with a test — bad readings mean wasted money on the wrong chemicals. We stock the same Taylor drop-test kits our service techs carry (the K-2005 line is the industry benchmark), AquaChek strips for quick daily checks, and the individual reagent refills that big-box stores never carry. Strips are fine for trend-watching; when something looks off, a drop kit is what tells you the truth. Or skip the kit entirely: bring a water sample to our Northlake store and we'll run a full professional test free, with a printed dosing plan.

Test Kits & Water Testing questions

Test strips or drop kit — which do I need?
Both, honestly. Strips for fast daily checks; a Taylor drop kit (K-2005 or K-2006) for accurate readings when chemistry drifts. Drop-test chlorine and pH readings are what pros trust for dosing decisions.
Do you sell individual Taylor reagent refills?
Yes — the full R-series reagent line in both .75 oz and 2 oz sizes. Refilling costs a fraction of replacing a kit.

The DFW month-by-month pool checklist

What it covers (12 months · 76 tasks · 12 marked critical):

  • Freeze nights (January and December): keep the pump running, and what to drain if the power goes out
  • The March opening: test everything, brush, shock, then balance alkalinity, pH and calcium
  • Summer: testing two or three times a week, the weekly shock, and what to do after rain or a party
  • Fall leaves, and easing the chemistry down for winter
