Taylor K-2005 vs. OTO test

I second that, my Taylor K-1000 (OTO/pH) is my daily tester. I only break out the 'big kit' once a week!

Once you get used to using OTO it even becomes useful at high chlorine levels since it does not bleach out like DPD. Just realize that it is testing only total chlorine. However, if you are on top of your water and your weekly test does not show CC then you can assume on the daily tests that the TC is pretty much the FC when your water is stable.

Maybe it's the specific OTO kit I'm using -- from Pinch-a-Penny, not from Taylor. When the FAS-DPD kit read 12.5 FC after doing a SWCG boost this weekend, the Pinch-a-Penny OTO kit showed 3.0 (yellow) not 5.0 (orange).
