Taylor K-2006 Complete FAS-DPD Pool & Spa Water Test Kit
A comprehensive high-range water testing kit for accurately measuring free chlorine, combined chlorine, pH, total alkalinity, calcium hardness, and cyanuric acid in pools and spas.
The Taylor K-2006 Complete Test Kit gives pool owners and service professionals a more precise way to monitor water chemistry than typical test strips or basic color-matching kits. It uses the FAS-DPD titration method for chlorine testing, allowing you to measure free chlorine and combined chlorine with clear, repeatable results.
High-Range FAS-DPD Testing
Measures free and combined chlorine using a drop-count titration method instead of relying only on color comparison.
Complete Water Balance Coverage
Tests chlorine, pH, alkalinity, calcium hardness, and cyanuric acid for routine pool and spa care.
Great for Routine Monitoring
Helps identify water balance changes before they lead to algae, corrosion, scaling, cloudy water, or sanitizer problems.
Why Choose a Taylor K-2006 Instead of Test Strips?
Test strips are convenient for a quick check, but the Taylor K-2006 provides a more detailed and repeatable approach to water testing. Its FAS-DPD chlorine test is especially useful for accurately checking free chlorine and combined chlorine levels when you need more than a general estimate.
Product Overview
The Taylor K-2006 Complete Test Kit is designed for comprehensive pool and spa water analysis. It includes the reagents, comparator components, testing accessories, and instructions needed to monitor the most important water chemistry readings in one organized kit.
The kit is ideal for homeowners who want better control over their water balance, as well as pool professionals who need dependable routine readings for service and troubleshooting.
What Does the Taylor K-2006 Test?
- Free Chlorine: Measures the active sanitizer available to keep water clean.
- Combined Chlorine: Helps identify chloramines and sanitizer demand.
- pH: Measures whether water is acidic, balanced, or too alkaline.
- Total Alkalinity: Helps determine how stable the pH level is.
- Calcium Hardness: Helps prevent corrosive or scale-forming water conditions.
- Cyanuric Acid: Measures stabilizer level in outdoor pools.
Why FAS-DPD Chlorine Testing Matters
The K-2006 uses the FAS-DPD method to test chlorine. Instead of deciding whether a color looks “close enough,” the water sample is titrated until it changes from pink to colorless.
This method is useful for pool owners who want a more reliable chlorine reading, especially when maintaining higher sanitizer levels, troubleshooting water issues, or monitoring combined chlorine.

Ideal For
- Pool owners who want more reliable results than standard test strips.
- Saltwater pools that still require chlorine, pH, alkalinity, hardness, and CYA monitoring.
- Traditional chlorine pools and spas.
- Pool professionals and technicians performing regular service checks.
- Diagnosing cloudy water, chlorine demand, algae concerns, scaling, or corrosion risk.
How Often Should Pool Water Be Tested?
Chlorine and pH should generally be checked several times per week during swim season, especially during hot weather, heavy use, rain, or after adding chemicals.
Total alkalinity, calcium hardness, and cyanuric acid are usually checked less frequently, but should still be monitored routinely and whenever water balance problems appear.
Aqua Terra Backyard Expert Tip
Water chemistry is connected. A chlorine issue may actually be caused by high pH, low cyanuric acid, poor circulation, excessive stabilizer, or high combined chlorine. Testing all major water balance parameters gives you a much better picture than testing chlorine alone.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Taylor K-2006 test salt?
No. The K-2006 tests chlorine, pH, alkalinity, calcium hardness, and cyanuric acid. A separate salt test is needed for saltwater pool salinity.
Can this kit be used with a saltwater pool?
Yes. Saltwater pools still need routine testing for chlorine, pH, alkalinity, calcium hardness, and cyanuric acid.
What is the difference between free chlorine and combined chlorine?
Free chlorine is the active sanitizer available to clean the water. Combined chlorine is chlorine that has reacted with contaminants and is less effective.
Are replacement reagents available?
Yes. Taylor reagents can be replaced individually as they are used or as they age. Store reagents in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight.
Is this the same as the K-2006C?
The K-2006 uses .75 oz reagent bottles. The K-2006C version typically includes larger reagent bottles for higher testing volume.
Storage & Care
- Store test reagents upright in a cool, dry area.
- Keep reagent bottles away from direct sunlight and excessive heat.
- Do not mix caps between bottles.
- Replace reagents if they are expired, contaminated, damaged, or producing questionable results.
- Rinse test cells with clean water after use.
Shipping & Returns
Please review the included testing parameters and reagent bottle size before ordering. This kit does not include salt testing.
Reagents should be stored properly after delivery to help preserve their accuracy and useful life.
