The Simple, Trusted Foundation for Clean and Clear Pool Water

The Taylor K-1000 Basic Test Kit is the essential starting point for every pool and spa owner. Offering a straightforward, no-fuss approach to water testing, this kit checks the two most critical parameters for swimmer comfort and safety: Free Chlorine and pH. Built with the same quality and accuracy Taylor is known for, the K-1000 provides a reliable and affordable way to perform quick, daily checks to ensure your water is always inviting and properly sanitized.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Tests the Two Most Important Factors: Quickly and easily monitor:

  • Free Chlorine: Ensure the active sanitizer level is sufficient to keep your water germ-free and prevent algae.

  • pH: Check that water is neither too acidic (which can corrode equipment and irritate eyes) nor too basic (which can cause scaling and reduce chlorine effectiveness).

• Fastest Path to a Safe Swim: In less than a minute, you can confirm that the water is safe for swimming. It's the perfect tool for a quick check before the family takes a dip.

• Incredibly Easy to Use: The simple dip-and-see color matching system requires no expert knowledge. Just fill the tube, add the reagents, and compare the colors to the vibrant, built-in comparator.

• Durable & Compact Design: The sturdy plastic case protects the reagents and components from sunlight and spills. Its small size makes it easy to store right by the pool for effortless daily use.

• Trusted Taylor Quality, Made in the USA: Even in this basic kit, you get the reliable, consistent results that have made Taylor the professional's choice for decades.
