This kit had everything needed to get started, but I feel like the directions could have been a little better.  Also I wish the bromine floater could open up a little more.  It took quite a long while to the bromine level up to the correct reading given how small the openings in the floater were.  Finally there are only 10 test strips included which seems kind of chincy given you're supposed to test every day and the chemicals provided last quite a bit longer than 10 days.
