- 16 ounce bottle The bulk size, which works out far cheaper per test than the small dropper bottles.
- For hardness testing Used in the hardness test in Taylor kits.
- Built for volume testing A pint is aimed at a service route or a busy commercial pool, not one backyard tested twice a season.

Product details
Taylor R-0012-E is the hardness reagent supplied in a 16 ounce bottle. It is the bulk refill size, meant for a kit that is already in service.
Why the pint size
Taylor packages the same reagents in small dropper bottles and in pints. The pint costs far less per test, which matters if you are testing a service route, a commercial pool, or several bodies of water every week. For a single backyard pool tested a few times a season, the smaller bottle is usually the better buy simply because the reagent will be used up before it ages out.
Keeping results honest
Test reagents do not last forever. They drift with age, heat and light, and a drifted reagent will happily give you a confident looking number that is wrong. Store reagents cool and out of the sun, and replace them on a schedule rather than when the bottle runs dry.
