Description
This reagent is a liquid chemical used in Taylor pool and spa test kits for measuring calcium hardness levels in water. It complements the other reagents in the set and helps ensure accurate water balance.
Applications
- Used with Taylor test kits that measure calcium hardness.
- Suitable for both residential and commercial in-ground and above-ground pools.
- Important to replace annually or when reagent shows signs of degradation for reliable results.
Features & Specifications
- Volume: 16 fluid ounces (approximately 473 mL).
- Designed for use in the Taylor “#12” hardness test procedure for pool/spa water.
- Packaged in a light-resistant bottle to protect reagent from degradation.
Usage Notes
Stand by the manufacturer’s instructions: add the reagent to the sample vial in correct sequence, observe color change or end-point, record the reading, and compare to recommended calcium hardness range (typically 200-400 ppm for pools). Ensure the test kit is clean and the sample water is well mixed before testing.
Storage & Shelf Life
Store the reagent in a cool, dark location away from direct heat or sunlight. Tightly reseal the bottle after each use to maintain shelf life. Replace the reagent if the bottle is more than one year old or shows signs of cloudiness, sediment, or color change.
