Product details

This is Taylor calcium buffer, ordered as R-0010-C-12 and supplied in a 2 oz dropper bottle. It is one of the reagents used in the calcium hardness step of a Taylor test kit.

What buffer does in the test

A hardness titration only works if the sample sits in the right chemical conditions. The buffer puts it there, so that the indicator gives a clear color and the titrant reaches a sharp endpoint you can actually count drops to. Skip it or use a bottle that has gone off and the color change smears across several drops, which is where inconsistent hardness numbers come from.

Handling

Reagents are consumables with a shelf life. Keep the cap on, keep the bottle out of direct sun and out of a hot equipment pad, and replace opened bottles each season. If a result looks wrong, fresh reagent is the cheapest thing to rule out before you start doubting the water.

Questions and answers

What people ask about this product, answered by our pool techs.

What is calcium buffer used for?
It is one of the reagents in the calcium hardness test. The buffer sets the sample chemistry so the indicator changes color cleanly at the endpoint.
What size is the bottle?
2 oz, in a dropper bottle, the usual Taylor refill size.
Can I buy just this one reagent?
Yes, that is the point of the listing. Taylor sells its reagents individually so you can top up the bottle that ran out rather than buying a new kit.
How long does a bottle last?
It depends on how often you test, but reagents lose accuracy with age regardless. Most techs replace opened reagents at the start of each season and keep them capped and out of the sun in between.
