Product details

This is the Taylor total alkalinity indicator reagent in a 2 oz. bottle. It is a refill for Taylor test kits that measure total alkalinity.

What it measures

Total alkalinity is the buffer that holds pH steady. When it drifts low, pH moves on you every time something is added to the water. When it runs high, pH gets stubborn and the water clouds. The alkalinity test is the one that tells you which of those you are dealing with, and this indicator is what produces the color change you read against.

Part numbers

Our record carries this as R-0008-C-12 and also refers to it as R-0008. Both point to the 2 oz. total alkalinity indicator.

Keeping results honest

Reagents age. Heat, light and time all pull them off their calibration, and the test gives you a clean answer either way, which is what makes an old bottle dangerous. Replacing reagents once a year and keeping them cool and dark between tests is what makes the numbers worth acting on.

Questions and answers

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

What is this reagent for?
The total alkalinity test. It is the indicator that gives the color change you titrate against when measuring total alkalinity.
What size bottle is it?
Two ounces.
What is the part number?
The record carries it as R-0008-C-12, and the same product is listed elsewhere in the record simply as R-0008. Both refer to the 2 oz. total alkalinity indicator.
How often should I replace my reagents?
Once a year is the usual guidance. Reagents lose strength with age and heat, and an old bottle gives you a confident reading that happens to be wrong.
