Product details

The Pentair R161178 is the number 2 pH test solution, supplied in a 1 oz bottle. It is the reagent you add to a water sample to read pH.

Why the reading matters

pH is the first number to get right in a pool. Water that drifts too far in either direction irritates swimmers, works on plaster, grout and metal parts, and stops the sanitizer doing its job properly. Testing regularly is what tells you which way the water is moving before it becomes a problem.

A refill, not a kit

This listing is the solution alone. It suits anyone who already owns the test kit and simply needs the number 2 bottle topped back up.

Questions and answers

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

What does the number 2 solution test for?
pH. It is the reagent used to read the pH of the water.
How big is the bottle?
1 oz.
Is this a complete test kit?
No. It is the solution on its own, meant as a refill for a kit you already have.
Why does pH matter?
Water outside the right pH range is harsh on swimmers, hard on surfaces and equipment, and it blunts how well the sanitizer works.
