As someone who has worked in pool stores I can tell you that the answer is probably yes. We did not carry decent test kits (except for the K-2005 we stocked in units of 1 for the condo associations) so people would come to us for water testing and we could sell them a lot of stuff!
As far as test kits, get yourself a Taylor K-2006 (not the K-2005). It will save you a lot of time and money in the long haul!
You might have to order it online. Here is a link for Amazon:
