Precise pH Correction Starts Here: The Essential Reagent for Calculating Acid Additions
The Taylor R-0005-A Acid Demand Reagent is a specialized chemical solution designed exclusively for use with Taylor's DPD-based 2000 Series liquid test kits (such as the K-2005 and K-2006). This professional-grade reagent takes the guesswork out of balancing your pool's pH by accurately determining the exact amount of acid needed to lower pH to the ideal range. Proudly made in the USA to the highest quality standards.
Key Features & Benefits:
-
Calculate, Don't Guess: This reagent allows you to perform an "Acid Demand Test." By adding drops to your water sample after a pH test, you simulate the effect of adding acid to your pool. The resulting color change corresponds to a precise dosage chart, telling you exactly how much acid to add to reach your target pH.
-
Prevent Chemical Imbalance: Avoid the risks of over- or under-dosing—such as corrosive water, skin irritation, or scaling. Using the Acid Demand Test ensures you add the correct amount of acid the first time, protecting your equipment and swimmers.
-
Professional-Grade Accuracy: As a component of the renowned Taylor 2000 Series test kits, this reagent is trusted by pool service professionals worldwide for its reliability and consistency in delivering accurate results.
-
Convenient Dropper Refill Bottle: This 0.75-ounce bottle is a direct refill for the R-0005 reagent that comes in your kit. The easy-to-use dropper ensures you add the reagent one drop at a time for a precise demand test.
-
Maintain Kit Integrity: Replacing consumed or expired reagents is critical to maintaining the accuracy of your entire test kit. Taylor recommends replacing this reagent annually for optimal performance.
How It Works:
-
First, perform a standard pH test using your Taylor 2000 Series kit. Note the result.
-
To the same sample, add the R-0005-A Acid Demand Reagent one drop at a time, swirling after each drop.
-
Count the drops it takes for the sample to change to a target pH color (typically 7.4-7.6).
-
Consult the "Acid Demand" chart in your test kit manual. The number of drops used corresponds to the exact amount of muriatic acid or dry acid to add to your pool.
Important Note:
This product is not a standalone test and cannot be used with test strips. It is a refill reagentspecifically designed for use with Taylor Technologies 2000 Series liquid drop test kits (e.g., K-2005, K-2006).
