Is a Pool Chlorine Level Above 10 PPM Unsafe?

I don't have that exact kit, but I have a few kits. One is a Taylor kit that I use to measure PH and TA (using R0014 reagent for PH, and R0007/R0008/R0009 for checking TA), another is a Taylor K1515-C (FAS-DPD Chlorine test), and a Tayor kit to test CYA level (using R0013 reagent), also a Jack's Magic Sequest kit, LaMotte test strips for borates, and most recently Aquacheck test strips for checking salt level (glad to report that the salt reading from the test strip reads almost the same as the SWCG display; gives me confidence my salt level is good). I did have a Taylor kit for checking calcium levels, but I had difficulty seeing the color change, so I returned it.

With the test kits you have, you have the equivalent of the K-2006. The FAS-DPD test in the K-2006 is the same as the K-1515-C you have. The pH test is the same, too. As is the TA and CYA tests. You are fine that way.

Yeah, I would buy individual kits as I learned what to test and gained confidence doing it myself.

It would be more convenient having everything in one box, but it would be cheaper just to buy a small tacklebox for that purpose rather than buying a new K-2006 kit.
