Taylor K-2006 Complete FAS-DPD Pool Test Kit
Product Overview
The Taylor K-2006-6 is the standard specification for pool professionals who require FAS-DPD titration for precise chlorine readings without color-matching guesswork.
In our experience, the Taylor K-2006-6 (UPC 840036004463) is what pool techs reach for when they need to measure free chlorine, bromine, pH, total alkalinity, calcium hardness, and cyanuric acid with lab-grade accuracy. This kit includes graduated tubes for reliable testing and utilizes the FAS-DPD method, allowing you to detect chlorine levels as low as 0.2 ppm or as high as 20 ppm. Designed for any pool size or surface type, this kit is a consumable tool that requires a reagent replacement cadence of once per year to ensure chemical potency and testing integrity.

Benefits & What Makes It Different
FAS-DPD Titration Accuracy
Unlike standard DPD kits, the K-2006 uses a titration method that eliminates color-matching errors, making it a proven choice for troubleshooting combined chlorine issues.
Comprehensive Water Analysis
This kit reliably handles six essential tests including cyanuric acid and calcium hardness, ensuring your water chemistry stays within NSF-certified parameters for safety.
Rugged Field Readiness
The Taylor K-2006-6 delivers reliable results in a heavy-duty carrying case designed for daily use by service professionals and dedicated homeowners throughout the season.
Compatibility
- Compatible with all chlorine and bromine sanitized pools and spas
- Works for saltwater systems requiring sodium chloride monitoring
- Suitable for plaster, vinyl, and fiberglass pool finishes
When To Use This
Pro Tip
When testing, always hold the dropper bottle vertically; holding it at an angle changes the drop size, which can throw off your total alkalinity or calcium hardness readings by 10-20%.
Common Questions & Instructions
How often should I replace the reagents in my Taylor K-2006 kit?
Taylor recommends a replacement cadence of once each year for all reagents to maintain accuracy, as chemicals can degrade over time when exposed to light and temperature fluctuations. If a reagent appears cloudy or fails to produce a distinct color change, it should be replaced immediately.
Can the Taylor K-2006-6 test for salt levels in my pool?
Yes, this specific K-2006 configuration includes the reagents and instructions for sodium chloride (salt) testing via the silver nitrate titration method, which is the standard specification for monitoring salt-water chlorine generators.
What is the difference between the Taylor K-2006 and the K-2005?
The K-2006 uses FAS-DPD titration for chlorine, which allows for precise numerical readings even at high levels, whereas the K-2005 uses standard DPD color matching which can be difficult to read during a shock treatment or algae cleanup.
