The Standard Titrant for Professional Total Alkalinity Testing

The Taylor R-0009-C is a standardized sulfuric acid titrant used exclusively within Taylor's 2000 Series and other professional liquid test kits for measuring Total Alkalinity. This 2-ounce bottle is a high-volume refill designed for pool service professionals and serious pool owners who require precise, drop-by-drop analysis to maintain perfectly balanced water chemistry. Accurate alkalinity testing is the cornerstone of pH stability, and this reagent provides the reliable performance needed to achieve it.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Precise Titration for Total Alkalinity: This reagent is the titrant used in the drop-count titration test. You add it to a prepared water sample one drop at a time until a specific color change (from green to red) occurs. The number of drops used calculates the exact Total Alkalinity in parts per million (ppm).

• Stabilizes Your Pool's pH: Total Alkalinity acts as a buffer for pH. By using R-0009-C to get an accurate reading, you can properly adjust your alkalinity levels, which prevents rapid pH fluctuations ("pH bounce") and reduces the constant need for acid or base additions.

• Professional-Grade Accuracy & Value: The 2-ounce (R-0009-C) size offers a larger, more economical supply for frequent testing, ensuring professionals and avid maintainers never run out during the critical swimming season. Its precise 0.12N concentration is standardized for guaranteed accuracy.

• Protects Your Pool Investment: Maintaining correct Total Alkalinity protects your pool equipment from corrosion, prevents surface etching, and ensures water clarity and swimmer comfort. This reagent is essential for that preventative care.

• Maintains Test Kit Integrity: This is a direct refill for the R-0009 reagent supplied in your test kit. Replacing consumed or expired reagents is critical for maintaining the accuracy and reliability of your entire water testing system. Taylor recommends replacing this reagent annually.

How It Is Used:

The R-0009-C is used as part of a specific test sequence:

1. Add 25 mL of pool water to the test vial.

2. Add 2 drops of R-0007 Sodium Thiosulfate (to neutralize chlorine, if needed) and swirl.

3. Add 1 drop of R-0008 Total Alkalinity Indicator and swirl. The sample will turn green.

4. Add R-0009-C Sulfuric Acid Titrant drop by drop, swirling after each drop, until the sample changes from green to a reddish-brown (or pink) endpoint.

5. The number of drops used equals the Total Alkalinity in ppm.

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 must be used with the other components of the Total Alkalinity test.

Ideal For:

• Pool and Spa Service Professionals

• Owners of Taylor 2000 Series test kits (K-2005, K-2006)

• Commercial pool operators

• Serious pool owners committed to precise water balance
