Product details
Taylor R-0008-A is the total alkalinity indicator reagent, supplied in a .75 oz dropper bottle. It is the refill for Taylor test kits that include a total alkalinity test.
What it is for
Total alkalinity is the buffer in your water. Get it right and pH holds steady between visits. Get it wrong and pH swings no matter how carefully you dose. This indicator is the reagent that reveals the endpoint in the total alkalinity test, so an accurate bottle is the difference between a number you can act on and a guess.
Keep it fresh
Reagents do not last forever. Taylor recommends replacing them every year, and a tired bottle is the first thing to suspect when a kit starts producing results that contradict what the water is doing. Keeping a spare on hand means a full test never gets skipped.
