Taylor Base Demand Reagent | 2 Oz. | R-0006-C

The Taylor Base Demand Reagent (R-0006-C) is a 2 oz dropper bottle designed for use with Taylor's 2000 Series test kits to accurately measure the base demand of pool and spa water. This reagent helps determine the amount of base (such as soda ash) needed to raise the pH to the desired level, ensuring optimal water balance and swimmer comfort. Proper storage between 36°F and 85°F (2°C–29°C) and away from direct sunlight preserves its effectiveness. Taylor formulates its reagents to remain effective for at least one year under appropriate storage conditions. Regular replacement of reagents, ideally annually or at the start of a new testing season, is recommended to ensure accurate water chemistry readings.

Highlights
