The Taylor R-0001-C-12 DPD Reagent #1 is a 2 oz replacement reagent bottle used with compatible Taylor DPD pool and spa water test kits. This reagent is part of the DPD chlorine and bromine testing process and is commonly paired with Taylor DPD Reagent #2 and DPD Reagent #3 depending on the test being performed.

• Always follow the instructions for your specific Taylor test kit.
• Do not mix old and new reagent bottles when performing a test.
• Use the correct reagent number; Taylor R-0001 is not the same as R-0002, R-0003, R-0870, or R-0871.
• For best accuracy, replace old or questionable reagents rather than relying on expired test chemicals.
