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.

Questions and answers

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

Which test does this reagent belong to?
The total alkalinity test. It is the indicator, so it is used alongside the other reagents that test calls for.
How often should I replace it?
Taylor recommends replacing reagents every year. Old reagent is the usual reason a kit starts giving readings that do not add up.
How big is the bottle?
.75 oz, in a dropper bottle.
Why bother testing total alkalinity?
Total alkalinity is the buffer that holds pH steady. When it drifts, pH will not stay where you put it no matter how much acid or soda ash you add.
