The Essential Foundation for Accurate Free Chlorine Testing

The Taylor R-0001-C DPD Reagent #1 is a fundamental component for professional water testing, used in Taylor's FAS-DPD and DPD liquid test kits. This 2-ounce high-volume refill bottle is specifically formulated to measure Free Available Chlorine—the potent, active sanitizer in your pool or spa that effectively eliminates harmful contaminants. For service professionals and meticulous pool owners, this reagent is the first step in ensuring water is both safe and properly sanitized.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Measures Active Sanitizer: This reagent reacts specifically with Free Available Chlorine to produce a distinctive pink color. The intensity of this color, when viewed in a comparator, directly indicates the concentration of active chlorine in the water, allowing for quick and reliable assessment.

• Critical for Water Safety & Clarity: Regular testing with R-0001-C ensures your pool maintains the correct level of active sanitizer. This prevents algae growth, eliminates bacteria and viruses, and ensures crystal-clear, safe swimming water.

• Professional-Grade Reliability & Value: The 2-ounce (R-0001-C) size provides a larger, more economical supply for frequent testing, offering excellent value for professionals and serious enthusiasts who demand consistent, accurate results.

• Versatile Application: It is a key reagent in both the quick, color-matching DPD test and the more precise, drop-count FAS-DPD test for chlorine, making it a versatile staple in any professional test kit.

• Maintains Test Kit Integrity: This is a direct refill for the R-0001 reagent supplied in your kit. Replacing consumed or expired reagents is crucial for maintaining the accuracy of your entire water testing system. Taylor recommends annual replacement for optimal performance.

How It Is Used:

The usage depends on the test method in your kit:

For DPD Color-Matching Test (Quick Check):

1. Add water to the test cell.

2. Add 5 drops of R-0001-C and swirl. The sample will turn pink.

3. Immediately compare the color to the standard in the comparator to determine Free Chlorine level.

For FAS-DPD Titration Test (Professional Grade):

1. Add water to the test cell.

2. Add a heaping scoop of R-0870 (DPD Powder) and swirl to dissolve. The sample will turn pink.

3. The R-0001-C is typically not used in the initial FAS-DPD Free Chlorine test, but is used in a subsequent step with R-0003 to measure Combined Chlorine.

Important Note: This product is a chemical reagent refill for use with specific Taylor liquid test kits (e.g., K-2005, K-2006) and is not a standalone product. Always refer to your test kit's instructions for the correct testing procedure.
