    Google for it. I just did and found a couple of places that have it. Just make sure it is the Taylor K1515 FAS-DPD kit. A couple of links that showed up when I did my search were for other kits. The K1515A will have 0.75 oz bottles and the K1515C will have 2-oz. bottles.

    I actually did find the K1515C on Amazon for $46. At the time I am writing this post, they show 4 available.

    I also found a Taylor K1515A for $21.63 from this place. (I don't know anything about this company.)

    Can you remove / disconnect the copper ionizer unit on the SWCG so you won't add more copper to the pool?

    I saw this mentioned somewhere else, but no instructions were given.

    So I just tested again, and the pool still has chlorine in it. Does that seem odd? I went ahead and added more bleach. No one is swimming this weekend because the weather is too cool and the water temp has dropped.
