The Essential Neutralizer for Accurate Total Alkalinity Testing in Chlorinated Pools
The Taylor R-0007-C Sodium Thiosulfate Reagent is a critical preparatory solution used in professional water test kits to ensure the accuracy of Total Alkalinity measurements. This 2-ounce high-volume refill is specifically designed to neutralize high levels of chlorine in water samples before performing the alkalinity test. By eliminating chlorine interference, this reagent guarantees a clear, unambiguous color change, allowing for a precise and reliable Total Alkalinity reading.
Key Features & Benefits:
-
Eliminates Chlorine Interference: In pools with high chlorine levels, the oxidizer can bleach the indicator dye used in the Total Alkalinity test, leading to false or unclear results. R-0007-C neutralizes this chlorine, preventing bleaching and ensuring the test's color change is sharp and accurate.
-
Ensures Precise Water Balancing: Total Alkalinity is the fundamental buffer that stabilizes your pH. An accurate reading is essential for preventing pH "bounce" (rapid fluctuations). By using this reagent, you can make correct chemical adjustments, protecting your equipment from corrosion or scaling and ensuring swimmer comfort.
-
Professional-Grade Reliability & Value: The 2-ounce (R-0007-C) size provides a larger supply for professionals and frequent testers, offering excellent value and ensuring you can always prepare your sample correctly. Manufactured to strict standards for consistent performance.
-
Simple Two-Drop Application: The process is quick and easy. Adding just two drops to the water sample before the alkalinity test is all it takes to ensure chlorine will not compromise your results.
-
Maintains Test Kit Integrity: This is a direct refill for the R-0007 reagent supplied in your Taylor test kit. Replacing consumed or expired reagents is crucial for maintaining the overall accuracy of your water testing system.
How It Is Used:
The R-0007-C is used as the first step in the Total Alkalinity test sequence:
-
Add 25 mL of pool water to the designated test vial.
-
Add 2 drops of R-0007-C Sodium Thiosulfate Reagent and swirl to mix. This neutralizes the chlorine.
-
Proceed with the rest of the Total Alkalinity test by adding R-0008 (Indicator) and R-0009 (Titrant).
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. It is specifically intended for the Total Alkalinity test and should be used according to your test kit’s instructions.
Ideal For:
-
Pool and Spa Service Professionals
-
Owners of Taylor 2000 Series test kits (K-2005, K-2006)
-
Commercial pool operators
-
Any pool owner who tests water with high chlorine levels or who wants to ensure the highest possible accuracy in their Total Alkalinity results
