Taylor R-0003-C-12 DPD Reagent #3 (2 oz Dropper Bottle)
The Taylor R-0003-C-12 is a replacement reagent used in DPD-based pool and spa water test kits. Specifically, it’s used to measure combined chlorine (chloramines) after initial free-chlorine testing, providing a complete view of sanitizer levels and helping maintain safe, balanced water chemistry.
Key Features
- DPD-based reagent for combined chlorine testing (after free chlorine is measured).
- 2 oz dropper-bottle — sufficient for many tests and convenient for storage or resale.
- Compatible with standard Taylor DPD test kits — works alongside reagents like DPD #1 and DPD #2 for full chlorine analysis.
- Helps identify chloramines — ensuring water remains properly sanitized and safe for swimmers.
Specifications
- Manufacturer: Taylor Technologies
- Part Number: R-0003-C-12
- Type: DPD Reagent #3 – Combined Chlorine Test Solution
- Container: 2 oz dropper bottle
- Application: Pool and spa water testing (after free-chlorine test) to measure combined chlorine (chloramines)
Usage & Testing Instructions
1. First perform a free-chlorine test using DPD Reagent #1 (and if required, DPD #2 for high range).
2. After recording free-chlorine levels, add the required drops of R-0003-C reagent to the same sample.
3. The resulting color change (compared against the kit’s comparator block) indicates total chlorine; subtracting free chlorine gives you combined chlorine (chloramines) level.
4. Use this information to adjust pool chemicals and maintain proper sanitation and water quality.
Why It Matters
Combined chlorine (chloramines) reduces water quality, causes irritating odors, and can be harmful to swimmers. The R-0003-C-12 reagent allows you to detect chloramines accurately — ensuring your pool water remains safe, comfortable, and properly sanitized over time.
