The Taylor R-0006-C Base Demand Reagent is a specialized chemical solution designed for use with Taylor's 2000 Series liquid test kits. This 2-ounce professional-size refill allows you to perform a "Base Demand Test," taking the guesswork out of raising your pool or spa's pH. By simulating the effect of adding base, this reagent provides a precise calculation for the amount of soda ash (or other pH increaser) needed to achieve perfect water balance, protecting your equipment and ensuring swimmer comfort.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Calculate, Don't Estimate: This reagent enables a "Base Demand Test." After performing a standard pH test, you add drops of R-0006-C to your water sample. The resulting color change corresponds to a dosage chart that tells you the exact amount of base required to raise your pH to the ideal range (typically 7.4-7.6).

• Prevent Chemical Imbalance: Avoid the risks of over- or under-dosing. Adding too much base can cause scaling and cloudy water, while adding too little leaves pH too low, leading to corrosive water. The Base Demand Test ensures you add the correct amount the first time.

• Professional-Grade Accuracy & Value: The 2-ounce (R-0006-C) size offers a larger volume for frequent testers and professionals, providing excellent value and ensuring a ready supply. Trusted for its consistency and reliable performance.

• Protect Your Pool Investment: Proper pH balance is critical for preventing damage to heaters, pumps, liners, and metal fittings. It also ensures swimmer comfort and maximizes chlorine effectiveness.

• Maintains Test Kit Integrity: This is a direct refill for the R-0006 reagent that comes in your kit. Replacing consumed or expired reagents is essential for maintaining the accuracy and reliability of your entire water testing system. Taylor recommends replacing this reagent annually.

How It Is Used:

1. First, perform a standard pH test using your Taylor 2000 Series kit. Note the result.

2. To the same sample, add the R-0006-C Base Demand Reagent one drop at a time, swirling after each drop.

3. Count the drops it takes for the sample to change to a target pH color.

4. Consult the "Base Demand" chart in your test kit manual. The number of drops used corresponds to the exact amount of soda ash (sodium carbonate) needed 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 reagent specifically designed for use with Taylor Technologies 2000 Series liquid drop test kits (e.g., K-2005, K-2006) that include a Base Demand test.

Ideal For:

• Pool and spa service professionals

• Owners of Taylor K-2005, K-2006, and compatible 2000 Series test kits

• Serious pool owners who require precise chemical dosing

• Anyone needing to refill their R-0006 reagent bottle
